HRAIR SARKISSIAN ARTIST TALK
Sep 10, 2010 6:30pm - 7:30pm talk/event
Current resident artist Hrair Sarkissian (Syria) uses traditional documentary photographic techniques to highlight the paradox between the beauty and constancy of natural and urban landscapes and the social and historical realities that they conceal.
 
Hrair Sarkissian has shown his work internationally, including, most recently, Disorientation II - The Rise & Fall of Arab Cities (Abu Dhabi, 2010), the 11th Istanbul Biennal (2009) and the State Museum of Contemporary Art (Thessaloniki, Greece, 2008). He currently lives and works in Amsterdam.

FAYÇAL BAGHRICHE
Jan 20 - Feb 29, 2012
To coincide with Fayçal Baghriche’s current residency at A.i.R Dubai, Delfina Foundation is showcasing four of his short films to kick-start a new film programme for 2012. Fayçal Baghriche works with performance, photography, film and sculpture, examining everyday existence, behavioural forms and collective symbols. He often transforms the public realm into a venue for startling transgressions, absurd scenarios, and minimalist actions tinged with humour. He has shaped an artistic practice that embodies a distinctive state of mind and triggers thoughtful critical reaction.
