Nairy Baghramian’s work traverses the realms of sculpture, installation, photography and drawing with fearless experimentation, historical acuity and conceptual rigor. Particularly in her prime medium of sculpture, the artist employs an extensive repertoire of techniques, materials and forms to address the spatial, architectural, social, political and contextual conditions of contemporary art. Through her innovative use of materials and manipulation of familiar forms, Baghramian’s work invites viewer to reconsider their sense of self, space, object, and site. Born in Isfahan, she had to flee post-revolutionary Iran as a teenager and has been living and working in Berlin since 1984.
During her visit to Malmö, Nairy Baghramian will hold a masterclass for students at the Malmö Art Academy. The lecture and masterclass are made possible with support from Einar Hansens Allhemsstiftelse.
