This event has ended.
For the +/- Project Space, Brooklyn-based Iranian artist Shahrzad Changalvaee installed plaster-encased tablets, and a new iteration of You Cannot the Same River Twice (2016).
Between the space of unutterable words, partial pictures, and visual and mental imagery, with the sculptural photographic accumulations, Changalvaee (whose practice in general responds to the materiality of sculpture through a variety of media) “crops, shatters, and relinks” partial referents. She explains:
“I re-link and cure internet fluxes, personal experiences, local stories, and present material to alienate established narratives and create landscapes. As an immigrant finding place in a new home, bringing together shattered narratives, left-out visions, and marginalized details is an urge for me in performing coherency, to reclaim the fragmentations of memory and information, and address issues of agency, power, and control.” Read more
