MOP CAP 2011 WINNER’S EXHIBITION
Tomorrow Another City – Works by Shirin Sabahi
Saatchi Gallery, London
9th – 13th October 2012, 10am – 6pm
Exhibition Preview: Monday 8th October 2012, 6.30pm-9pm
For her first solo exhibition in the UK, Sabahi presents a new series of works made out of, and about, obsessive attempts at making a film, solving a mathematical problem and speculating a love affair. These seemingly unrelated fragments come together in a sparse but evocative manifestation of the artist’s growing interest in the ways in which artefacts are fabricated. The exhibition gathers activities stuck in an infinite present, a cycle where communication is disrupted, doubt is looped and scheduled time passes without ever coming to an end. A total of four works in the exhibition includes a film installation, a series of drawings, a flipbook and film stills. The works are the result of tasks that are either predetermined or unknown, yet one wouldn’t reach the final if not through assigning oneself to an exhaustive and repetitive search, which may or may not be futile.
Throughout the exhibition there will be a limited edition artist’s book numbered by the artist available for purchase.
On Tuesday 25th September from 7pm- 8pm, Sabahi will be in conversation with curator Gabriela Salgado, talking about her practice as well as her forthcoming exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery. The talk will take place at the Delfina Foundation where she is currently artist-in-residence as part of MOP CAP Winner’s Prize 2011.
Sabahi (b. 1984 Tehran) has exhibited at Platforma Revolver, Lisbon; Konsthall C, Stockholm; Aarhus Kunstbygning; 58th Oberhausen Short Film Festival and 7th Mercosul Biennial, Porto Alegre amongst others.
