Hassan Hajjaj

Moroccan-born artist Hassan Hajjaj’s video installation My Rock Stars Experimental, Volume 1 has captivated Wexner audiences this winter. Join us as he discusses his diverse practice and his unique path to the contemporary art scene in conversation with Wexner Center Curator at Large Bill Horrigan. Hajjaj’s work blends photography, performance, and fashion in colorful portraits that offer insightful commentary on global capitalism.

Born in 1961 in Larache, Morocco, Hajjaj has called London home since 1975. Influenced by London’s club, hip-hop, and reggae music scenes, as well as by his North African heritage, Hajjaj is entirely self-taught in his diverse practice. His work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions and is held in the collections of such institutions as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; Institut des Cultures d’Islam, Paris; and Kamel Lazaar Foundation, Tunisia. The artist lives and works in London and Marrakesh, Morocco.
