Chourouk Hriech - In 17th Heaven

In 17th Heaven is a new installation by visual artist Chourouk Hriech. Museum de Fundatie invited Hriech to create a work in dialogue with the exhibition At Home with Ter Borch. The commission is part of the museum’s Art in the Atrium programme, a series of site-specific installations in the atrium of the museum. A part of Hriech’s installation can be seen in an adjacent room.

Chourouk Hriech (b. 1977) lives and works in Marseille, France. Hriech uses drawing, installation, performance, video and photography as means to explore space and time. Her works – on paper, walls and surrounding objects – invite contemplation of both ancient and contemporary architectures, real and imaginary figures, animals, plants and chimeras. Her art interweaves urban architecture and everyday motifs and follows the chaotic course of the world with serenity, embodying a desire for resistance and utopia. Her work is, in essence, an ode to life and the living. 

Hriech’s work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including, most recently, the 17th Biennale de Lyon, France (2024); Museum of Tomorrow, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2023); Drawing Lab, Paris, France (2022); and Art Factory, Daegu, South Korea (2022).
