Visiting Artist Talk: Iman Raad
@ Kresge Hall, Northwestern University
1880 Campus Dr, Evanston, IL 60208
Opening Monday, April 1st, at 5PM
ATP is delighted to welcome Iman Raad as part of the 23-24 Visiting Artist Series. **Please note this talk begins at 5:00 PM.
Raad is a Brooklyn-based visual artist, designer, and educator. Across his diverse work, Raad brings together a sweeping reimagining of traditional Persian art amidst the interruption of images and narratives in the internet era. Oscillating between disparate areas of knowledge, Raad references a culture indexically rooted within his thoughts. Curiosity is given a place to breathe. Images are fractured or incomplete. Moments from different art histories are filtered into a language of comfort and contented longing; a repetition of imagery and color whose intention is to keep you in a disturbed reality.
Through this prism of layers and colors, Raad has found a necessary platform to touch on both the complexities and beauty of cross cultural expression today. Aside from visual art, Raad is also an internationally acknowledged graphic designer–representing the contemporary Persian design and typography movement.
