From April 23, this only online exhibition will present new, never-before-seen drawings by Marcel Dzama inspired by his
travels in Morocco, and his recent trip to Mexico.
In Morocco, Dzama visited Tangiers, Essaouira, Chefchaouen, Fez, Beni Mellal, Marrakech, and the Agafay Desert. The
resulting drawings are part of a group of works Dzama created for a forthcoming monograph from Louis Vuitton’s Travel Book Series, which will be published in the Spring. "For this project, I tried to offer a balance between the representation and
the reality of what I saw," says Dzama, "all the while moving it toward abstraction or perhaps a touch of surrealism."
Since 2017, David Zwirner Online is the gallery’s "seventh space" where visitors can explore and collect works from
curated, online-only exhibitions by gallery artists and special collaborations.
