On Friday April 1st, 4-8 pm, New Media Projects will host an open studio with Shirin Fahmi (Montreal). She will present her diagrams, installation and screen her previous video works. Shirin Fahimi’s practice as a visual thinking process intends to traverse the distance between theoretical research and the process of art making through diagramming.
Questioning the formation of the self, the subject and selflessness has been center of her conceptual framework. By tracing invisible forces and relations between perception and intentions, she intends to materially display the mental geography. Diagram, as a movement towards actualization, will not merely imitate something that already exists, but it will maps out possibilities prior to an appearance of a definitive form.
Shirin Fahimi is an Iranian, Montreal-based artist, working in a variety of media. She received her BA from Slade School of Fine Art (University College London) in 2013, and currently doing her MFA at Concordia University. Fahimi’s conceptual interest is in the domain of philosophy, tackling the question of ‘the self’, while exploring a way of philosophical thinking in the medium of art, through drawing and diagram making.
