“Raha Raissnia: Alluvius” is on view in our Lab gallery. *Please note that The Drawing Center is closed for the holidays through Tuesday, January 2. Our current exhibitions are all on view through February 4, 2018.* 〰️ Excerpt from artforum on Raissnia “She inherited his [her father’s] interest in the medium [photography], and in “Alluvius”—her debut solo museum show—Raissnia reckons with tensions of identity and form by rephotographing and then drawing found archival imagery amassed over time. Rather than contest the notion that the camera lays claim to utter truth, Raissnia unsettles distinctions between media to suggest how images are laundered into personal truths. Perception becomes a kind of skeleton key, one remade and remade again unto meaningful divergence.” #RahaRaissnia raissniaraha Image: Raha Raissnia, “Canto 7”, 2017. Graphite and acrylic medium on paper, 9 x 12 inches. Courtesy of the artist and Miguel Abreu Gallery, New York.
