Hashim is a multidisciplinary artist, sculptor, musician, producer, who ran his own space for a while, was even a professional photographer in New York. I know him through our time together at Lasalle College of the Arts, when we were studying for our MA in Fine Arts, back in 2009-2010. During that period of time, I saw Hashim delve into installation and performance too, all in pursuit of “Truth” and credence. He also acted in a small documentary I directed at the time.

 

In his own words, Hashim is a “Jack of all Trades”, and will use whatever means or medium to express himself, depending on what the circumstances require.

 

For the current residency, he chose a project based on a painting. Hashim tuned a wall into a 2D/3D abstract mural. Now, shapes, colours, and 3-dimensional pop-up elements bounce off the sculptural fixture. The whole thing is documented in the time-lapse video.

 

In his own words:

 

“It’s an alien wall, living and breathing, changing constantly, whimsical and unpredictable. It sings without a voice, a schizophrenic chameleon that just swallowed ten lollipops”.
