AMINA AGUEZNAY INSTALLATION STAMPS OF TANA AT DADA SPACE IN COLLABORATION WITH 1-54 ARTFAIR 
"At Dada, Amina Agueznay presents “Stamps of Tana”, two series of woven panels and monotype prints initiated during her Fondation H residency in Antananarivo. Inspired by the work of legendary Malagasy textile artist, Madame Zo, Agueznay commissioned a collection of rubber stamps that formed the basis of a series of white-on-white monotypes. Translating the texture of weaving into layers, the artist returns to the fundamental element of all things: the line. Also inspired by Madagascar is a series of exquisitely-woven suspended panels in the native material of raffia. Here again, the structural foundation is stratified and linear. One side offers a clearly-defined linear structure; the other reveals gesture and method. Inspired by both Madagascar and Morocco, these works transcend the artist’s interpretation of local practice and tradition to reveal the process of creation itself.”
