Nairy Baghramian: Déformation Professionnelle Nairy Baghramian

Nairy Baghramian: Déformation Professionnelle marks the artist’s first international museum presentation. Over the past two decades, Baghramian (b. 1971, Iran; lives and works in Berlin) has created sculptures and site-responsive installations that play off the body and its gestures. Her works mark boundaries, transitions, and gaps in the museum and urban space, referencing interior and exterior, fashion and design, theater and dance, form and meaning. Using such materials as curved steel, soft rubber, plastic, wax, and fabric as well as cast or combined elements and photography, Baghramian questions and challenges the definition of sculpture.
