The Pick 4 [Townhouse]

E-mail Print PDF

The fourth edition of “The Pick,” Townhouse’s biannual exhibition of young artists, opens this June in both the first-floor and factory spaces.

Introducing the latest generation of artists, the show features work by students and recent graduates. “The Pick 4” is organized by Medrar for Contemporary Art, an artist-run initiative based in Cairo.

Most of the work on view in “The Pick 4” will be new, developed through close discussion with the curators. In this way, the exhibition serves not only to promote and encourage young artists but also to expose them to the curatorial process and critical collaboration.


Curator: Mohamed Allam
Assistant: Aliaa Abou Ouf
