Abstract Details

2014, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Art History (Fine Arts).
The art pieces of Iranian-American artist Pooneh Maghazehe and Iranian Los Angeles-based artist Gelare Khoshgozaran articulate specifities of Iranian contemporary art in diaspora. Using Marc Auge's neologism of Non-places and Doreen Massey's theory of space and place in relation to gender, this study analyzes implications of movement, displacement and locality in the art of minorities; specifically Iranian art outside of mainstream art market. The study reviews various ways in which these artists address difference by intervening in systems of administration at urban public spaces.
