Open Sessions Artist 2018-20: Tariku Shiferaw
.
Shiferaw explores mark-making in order to address the physical and metaphysical spaces of painting and societal structures. The work interrogates the act of mark-making and the identity of the mark-maker using geometric forms, which are intrinsically ambiguous. Placing these forms against the atavistic painterly-gestures of art history’s abstract movements results in marking oneself into a history that has overlooked a vast variety of “Others.”
.
Tariku Shiferaw lives and works in New York. His work has been shown at the 2017 Whitney Biennial as part of Occupy Museum’s Debtfair; at Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland; at Addis Fine Art, London. .
Open Sessions is a two year artist program of interdisciplinary events and exhibitions focused on drawing, organized by Rosario Güiraldes and Lisa Sigal.
