For his first-ever North American exhibition, Moroccan contemporary artist Younes Rahmoun created Here, Now, a multi-disciplinary, sensory experience at Smith College Museum of Art (SCMA) with two outdoor art installations on the college grounds, one in the Botanic Garden conservatory gallery, and more sculptures, drawings, and other artworks inside the museum’s galleries and windows. Fifteen works, created over the last 25 years, are on view through July 13, 2025 at the museum – which is open and free to the public year-round.
Younes Rahmoun: Here, Now encourages visitors to walk – and drive – between the site-specific installations. Ghorfa #13 (Al-Ana/Huna) is a small, unusually shaped room, a remote place to offer stillness and reflection after walking through the forest at the college’s Ada and Archibald MacLeish Field Station in West Whately, Mass, a short drive from the museum. Rahmoun created Chajara-Tupelo along the banks of Paradise Pond and near the college’s Japanese Garden on its campus in Northampton. There, he planted a swamp-growing tupelo tree during a performance in September 2019. A video installation called Habba is located in the college’s Lyman Plant House, reminding visitors of the regeneration of seeds from trees to seeds again. The main exhibition of Here, Now features the other works inside the museum at 20 Elm Street in Northampton.
Several events are planned in response to Younes Rahmoun: Here, Now: The Miller Lecture in Art History with Dr. Hannah Feldman on Friday, March 28 at 4:30 p.m., and an online program and conversation between Emma Chubb and Sarah Loomis, Associate Director of Education and Interpretation at the Botanic Garden, on Friday, April 4.
