About the Item
Nadim Karam is a Lebanese artist, architect, and urban planner known for his diverse body of work that includes sculpture, painting, installations, and urban interventions. Born in 1957 in Senegal, he spent his early childhood in West Africa before moving to Lebanon. Karam received his education in architecture from the American University of Beirut and later pursued further studies at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. He has since established himself as a leading figure in the field of contemporary art and urban design.
Karam creates narratives engaging with cities and landscapes through large-scale sculptures. Based on his conviction that cities should dream, Karam’s art practice in the public sphere responds to contemporary challenges, social realities, and eternal quests of identity. His site-specific projects engage in re-examining contextual issues and enhancing perceptions of diversity within society, taking a playful and often absurdist approach even when addressing the most critical issues.
Karam’s formative years in Lebanon and his doctoral studies in Japan are defining influences in his work. Studying under prominent Japanese architects Hiroshi Hara, Fumihiko Maki and Tadao Ando, he approached architecture through philosophies of eastern thought and concepts of space. From his early projects of performance art in Tokyo, he developed a language of forms relating to spaces, memories, and peoples. His public art projects emerged as a natural synthesis of his architectural affinity for urban contexts and his auto-didactic artistic output.
