Asia Contemporary Art week: September 5 - November 2, 2018
As part of Asia Contemporary Art Week's 2018 signature program, Thinking Collections: Open Studios spotlighting 28+ remarkable artists in the context of their own intimate studios and creative workspaces —with practices that broaden a variety of artistic and philosophical inquiries, directly or indirectly related to Asia.
Over the past six years, Bahar Behbahani has archived materials having to do with the conflicting figure Donald Wilber, an American writer and CIA spy who orchestrated the historical coup to overthrow Iranian Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadeq. Presenting her research as an interactive installation comprised of her drawings, videos and personal belongings, Behbahani illustrates her complicated connection to Wilber, someone whom she had admired as a Persian garden scholar before learning about his alternate identities. The presentation is centered on an informal discussion that she leads between herself and her visitors.
Bahar Behbahani (b. 1973 in Tehran, Iran) has a research-based practice through which she explores various cultural landscapes via painting, videos, installations, and interactive lectures.
