History of L’appartement 22:

L’appartement 22 is an independent space for art founded by curator Abdellah Karroum in Rabat in 2002. Most of L’appartement22’s projects are conceived specifically for the space, namely in the context of artists’ residencies that have been continuously developed since 2002. Exhibitions, publications and encounters are dedicated to the Generation 00* artists from Africa and all continents. L’appartement 22 was invited as a non-profit space in numerous encounters and festivals, such as MoMA New York conference on North Africa and Middle East (2006), SUD in Cameroun 2007, Marrakech Biennale and Freize Art Fair 2007, and Gwangju Biennale in Korea in 2008. After 5 years of existence, L’appartement22 has opened itself to new propositions and functions collectively and cooperatively, engaging with international curators and artists. L’appartement22’s new project: The R22 art radio. The R22 radio program live from exhibition projects in Brussels, Dakar, Dubai, Gwangju, Marrakech, Medellin, Palermo, Cotonou and the Rif Mountain. Since 2011, L’appartement 22’s program is curated by members of the Curatorial Delegation (CD), using the physical space in Rabat as a meetings places while artistic projects are produced in places of exploration around the world. The initial exhibition space becomes a place for documentation, research and archive* on Generation 00, its issues and networks, and on L’appartement 22 projects since its creation.
