Abbas Akhavan: Variations on a Garden
Event Details
Variations on a Garden is artist Abbas Akhavan’s (Canada, b. Iran, 1977) first US museum survey. Spanning the course of his 20-year practice, the exhibition highlights recurring conceptual concerns, particularly human relations to the natural world, public and private space, and the conservation of heritage sites. Variations on a Garden will feature Akhavan’s work in sculpture and installation, drawing special attention to his use of organic and perishable matter such as soil, water, and plants.
Curators: Pavel Pyś, Curator of Visual Arts and Collections Strategy; with Brandon Eng, Curatorial Assistant
