Featured

In his sculptures, photographs, and films, the artist Shahryar Nashat often addresses the representation of the body and the conventions of mediation and presentation. Nashat finds great pleasure in details, and his works—with their near-obsessive methods of framing and cropping—draw the viewer into a world of clandestine forms, artful gestures, and posturing. Nashat is represented by David Kordansky Gallery, Los Angeles, and Rodeo Gallery, London. He is currently based in Los Angeles.

AfterWord is a series of intimate discussions with leading practitioners in the arts who at California College of the Arts (CCA) or another nearby institution provided a lecture or conversation in a large public arena. The intention is to offer graduate students and faculty at CCA and elsewhere a more intimate, focused engagement with guests to the Bay Area in order to delve deeper into topics touched upon the previous evening.
