Adel Abdessemed in Bloomington, MN

Algerian artist Adel Abdessemed (born 1971) expands the parameters of his studio into the city streets. He has filmed wild boars loose in Paris and a stray cat devouring a mouse in Berlin. Of these public "acts," a term he prefers for its political implications, he has said: "I use passion and rage. Nothing else. I don't do illusions."
