- Lot Description
Lapis Lazuli and pigment; hand carved on found wood board, 2020.
10.5 x 20 x 0.8 in.
Bahar Behbahani's research-based practice approaches landscape as a metaphor for politics and poetics. Behbahani looks into cultural landscapes both historically and in a contemporary context, posing urgent questions that consider the ways in which people negotiate space and place. Through a range of media—such as painting, video, installation and performative talks—she excavates historiography to shift the inevitably violent interactions between knowledge and power in historic and imperial contexts to a poetic body of work.
Behbahani is a recipient of the Creative Capital award for an anticipated project Ispahan Flowers Only Once, a community garden inspired by Persian garden design, philosophy, plants and flora, which will bring people together to take part and re-activate the unseen histories by gathering and gardening.
Born in Tehran, Iran, into an artistic family of writers, painters, musicians and a puppeteer, Behbahani relocated to the US and currently works in Brooklyn, NY.
