Yassine Khaled

Yassine Khaled is a Moroccan visual artist based in Helsinki. His sculptures, installations, performances, paintings, and videos focus on the disparity between the power and wealth of some, and the powerlessness and poverty of others in our globalized world. Khaled visualizes power relations between individuals caused by, for instance, ever-increasing gaps in wealth, socio-cultural differences, labor conditions, educational opportunities — the conditions that determine one’s level of comfort and stability in society. Khaled’s Monitor Man received an honorary mention at Prix Ars Electronica 2018, in Austria. He was also selected for the 2nd Prize for Artist of the New Generation, Morocco in 2014.
