This week we’re visiting with artist Meriem Bennani – by popular demand! Meriem has been one of the most requested guests, and is a personal favorite, so we simply had to have her on the show. Meriem effortlessly weaves cartoonish slapstick humor into her videos and animations, even when she is taking on dead serious topics. Her work is accessible and inviting, and her work is equally at home on social media platforms as it is in major museum collections. In recent year’s Meriem’s work has grown in scale, developing into quite complex and ambitious site-specific installations. Tune in to hear the story of Meriem’s evolution as an artist, and a generous behind-the-scenes glimpse into her process and practice.
