SUMMARY:Roots | Opening Reception & Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the opening reception of Roots\, a solo exhibition featuring new work by artist Yasaman Moussavi. \nThe visual content of the Moussavi’s work for this exhibition is personal and intimate\, consisting of etchings that depict creatures entangled in a natural space. As she explores the ties between individual and environment\, she begins to unearth emotions\, associations\, and memories that one attaches to physical spaces to discover the abiding bond between nature and us. \nFor Moussavi\, etching is a dance of covering and uncovering\, building and destroying whatever she imagines onto her copper plates. In this sense\, printmaking bridges her inner and external worlds. Moussavi also crafts an intimate relationship between her medium of choice and the visual message she wants to communicate by making her own paper. Upon layering and reconstructing handmade papers\, she fuses the intricate forms found in her etchings with dynamic natural forms. \nAt a time in history when we suffer from great divisive rhetoric and disconnect in and with politics\, the environment and each other\, Moussavi dreams of growing roots and connecting with the self\, nature\, and people. \nYasaman Moussavi was born in Tehran\, Iran and received her BFA in painting from the Al-Zahra University of Tehran and an MA in Art Studies from The University of Tehran. She also holds an MFA with an emphasis in painting and printmaking from Texas Tech University\, where she explored and developed her skills in papermaking\, printmaking and installation art. Moussavi has participated in many national and international exhibitions\, including the Juried International Exhibition of Contemporary Art\, Irving Art center\, TX\, A.I.R Gallery Biennial\, Brooklyn\, NY\, “Norouzaneh” International Mini Print Annual Exhibition at Sagene Kunstsmie\, Oslo\, Spazio 74/b Milan and Chicago. \nRoots will be on view at The Annex at Spudnik Press\, 1821 W. Hubbard St.\, Suite 302\, Chicago\, IL 60622\, March 9\, 2018 through April 21\, 2018. \nImage: Yasaman Moussavi\, Breathe on me\, 2017.
