Screening and Artist Talk with Anahita Razmi
Join us for a screening and talk with artist Anahita Razmi.
Razmi is a Berlin-based artist whose work revolves around cultural transfers and translocations. Working mainly with video, installation, new media and performance, Razmi's work examines processes of cultural appropriation in which the meanings of existing images, artefacts and thus identities are altered by situating them in another temporal context. In doing so, she often reflects strategies of disarrangement and structures of perception expressed by the mass media of consumer and pop culture against the background of different communities between the West and the Middle East. The Islamic Republic of Iran, with its current political and social conditions and relations, remains an open, ambivalent point of reference.
In 2017 Razmi received a BS Projects scholarship at Braunschweig University of Art, Germany. Other residencies and awards include the Werkstattpreis of the Erich Hauser Foundation (2015), the MAK-Schindler Artists and Architects-in-Residence Program, Los Angeles (2013) and the The Emdash Award, Frieze Foundation (2011).
As part of her Goethe at LUX Residency, Razmi will also hold the THE FUTURE STATE #03, the third in a series of open roundtable discussions which will be held at The Common Guild, Saturday 21 July. The project and associated roundtables aim to facilitate settings for discussions about what the future of Iran may look like.
