Anahita Alebouyeh
to make ends meet

Opening night at Ivan Vazov 18th Street 18:00

Anahita's artistic practice is largely performative, with multiple outlets and media: live performance, performative video, sculpture, text, and installation. In a landscape floating between fiction and autobiography, she works to embrace ongoing life tragedies.

Currently, Anahita is working to explore what she has suppressed from her Persian culture and heritage, while also finding her unique own way of expressing her Persian art. The process becomes a self-examination, where she composes, explores, and further develops her own life story. She uses absurdity and drama as tools to tackle emotional situations. The expression is a mix of chaos, humor, and nonsense. The result is poetic catharsis.

Since 2015, Anahita has shown works at, among others, Bergen Kunsthall, Kvit Galleri (DK), Zacheta National Gallery of Art (PL), Van Etten Gallery, Fotogalleriet, Neverneverland (NL), Kunsthall Oslo, Kunstverein (NL), and Kunstnerenes hus.

The exhibition is supported by OCA - Office of Contemporary Art Norway and Norske Billedkunstnere. Many thanks for Tequila Bar Fnky Mnky for serving free drinks at the opening night.
