Talia Chetrit, Chain 2011, (Silver gelatin print, 50.8x40.64cm)
Opening Reception: 5 November 2012, 7 - 9 pm
Exhibition Dates: 5 November 2012 – 10 January 2013
"A Permanent Record For Future Investigation", curated by Kamrooz Aram, features the works of an all female cast: Nazgol Ansarinia, Talia Chetrit, Iman Issa, Mehreen Murtaza, and Hajra Waheed; artists whose practice uses image-making as a means to negotiate the question of representation. The artists included in this exhibition take on the history of image-making and the notion of the image as historical document. They challenge our understanding of the image as truth through an investigation of form and a conjuring of a variety of historical references. In the digital world we live in, questioning the validity of an image has become a part of everyday life.
