Join Black Cube at our headquarters in Englewood, CO for the opening of "WE ARE BODIES (The Archaeology Files)," an exhibition featuring a selection of large-scale 3D-printed sculptures based on expressive, handmade clay self-portraits created by participants in workshops led by 2019 Black Cube Artist Fellow Anuar Maauad.Curated by Black Cube’s Executive Director & Chief Curator, Cortney Lane Stell, the works in Maauad’s exhibition explore the collective unconscious mind of humans, depicting a rich range of reflections on the relationship to our bodies, broader trends of self-representation, and the dissolution of the real as seen through concepts of replication, ownership, and participation. Ultimately, "WE ARE BODIES (The Archaeology Files)" examines sculpture’s relation to social experience through an interplay between action and reaction.

His work can be found in significant collections, including the Jumex Foundation in Mexico, the Costantini Collection in Argentina, the Denver Art Museum, among others.
