Conceived as a series of discrete interventions dispersed throughout the foundation\u2019s galleries, the exhibition is Ansarinia\u2019s largest presentation to date and surveys the artist\u2019s work of the last 15 years in sculpture, installation, drawing, and video. The individual projects represent ways of understanding the role of architecture in delineating interior and exterior spaces and private and public spheres. Informed by Ansarinia\u2019s interdisciplinary background in art and design, projects range in approach and material to offer a perspective that considers the aesthetic and theoretical implications of vernacular architectural practices within the built environment. Ansarinia\u2019s works are largely observational and technical in their scope, offering insight into the issues that are most pressing and urgent for today\u2019s cities and the populations that inhabit them.<br>For the greater part of her career as an artist, Ansarinia has focused her attention on the immediate context of Tehran, where she currently lives and works. Tehran is a primary source material for Ansarinia, whose individual research-based projects are centered around aspects of the city\u2019s architectural history. The Room Becomes a Street suggests a playful inversion of spaces that are otherwise separated by notions of urban design. The earliest works in the exhibition, such as Living Room (2005), deal specifically with interior domestic space and provide a basis for how Ansarinia has developed her research in the years that followed. Ansarinia\u2019s practice traces the tendencies toward construction and demolition, accumulation and decay that are inherently linked to cities such as Tehran. Situated within the context of a repurposed factory building that has undergone an intricate and involved restoration, Ansarinia\u2019s work becomes the artistic embodiment of questions surrounding historical preservation and architectural conservation. Ansarinia\u2019s individual projects reflect the recent history of Tehran\u2019s urban development, and the artist\u2019s engagement with the architectural specificity of Pejman Foundation\u2019s Argo Factory brings her work into closer proximity to the realities of lived experience and the conditions that shape urban life.<br>Nazgol Ansarinia (born in 1979 in Tehran) is an Iranian artist, working in variety of media such as sculpture, drawing and video. She received her BA from London College of Communication, before completing a MFA from the California College of the Arts.<br>Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions internationally including at the Tate Modern, Whitechapel gallery and Parasol Unit in London, Wattis institute and KADIST foundation in San Francisco, KIOSK in Ghent and Museum Rietberg in Zurich and is also part of the collection of Tate Modern, British Museum, LACMA and Queensland Museum. She has participated in Istanbul, Yinchuan and Gwangju Biennials and was the recipient of the Abraaj Capital Art Prize in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pejman.foundation\/vr\/the-room-become-streets\/index.html\"><strong>&#8220;The Room Becomes a Street&#8221; Vitual Tour<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nazgol Ansarinia: The Room Becomes a StreetCurator: Aram Moshayedi 10 January \u2013 10 April 2020 For its inaugural exhibition in the newly renovated Argo Factory building, Pejman Foundation is pleased to present The Room Becomes a Street, a solo exhibition by Iranian artist Nazgol Ansarinia.
