Dear all,
We are delighted to invite you all to the next VALS: RAHA Raissnia, This Tuesday, February 20th at 6:30pm!
“Tehran-born, Brooklyn-based artist Raha Raissnia works in film, painting, and drawing, with each medium informing the other. Her film works are the result of an iterative approach: footage shot on Super-8, 16mm, digital, and even mobile phone is manipulated in the studio; Raissnia projects the footage onto paintings and screens, integrating found materials and additional film and digital imagery, and refilms the whole to yield densely layered celluloid films. These films, in turn, are often screened superimposed with handmade slides or fashioned into film loops that Raissnia manually manipulates on projectors, which take on the role of instruments.”
There will be a reception afterwards in Prentis 315
Find below, further information about the artist.
Best,
2017/18 VALS Team
