Seher Shah: “Jihad Pop”

“Seher Shah was voted one of the most significant emerging artists in 2007 by Frieze Magazine. Her work navigates the many permutations of personal nostalgia. Shah’s black and white prints and drawings explore the dimensions and incarnations of the geometry of the Cube with its multiple associations and connections within the Islamic cultural collective. The exhibition is comprised of large-scale drawings as well as work that ranges in size down to a series of small print details. The impetus of her artistic exploration is the space of memory. This began with her personal recollection and retracing of iconic Islamic spaces and forms. Shah’s drawings begin to illustrate the infinite possible permutations of individual conceptions of the idea of the collective Cube or Kaaba form.”

Opening Reception with the artist: Friday January 11, 6:00 – 8:00 pm
Show runs from January 11 – February 23
