Bio: Since rising to prominence as a sculptor in the 1980s, Shirazeh Houshiary’s practice also encompasses painting, installation, architectural projects and film.

Houshiary investigates the friction between the conscious and unconscious, control and chance, reflecting on the physical and immaterial qualities that shape art and human life. Veils, membranes and mists are leitmotifs in Houshiary’s work that tries to visualise modes of perception.
