<a href="https://www.tannazfarsi.com/" title="https://www.tannazfarsi.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tannaz Farsi’s</a> art practice spans sculpture, installation and image making, allowing her to work within serial structures that create interdependencies in meaning. Working with organic materials such as flowers and plants, and composing space through light, air, and language, she engages the specificity and histories of objects to address broader socio-political systems through both analytical and poetic frameworks. Farsi’s research draws from historical cultural objects, feminist histories, and theories of displacement evidenced by long standing colonial and authoritarian interventions into daily life, complicating the network of relations around memory, history, and geography.  Farsi’s work has been exhibited at venues including SFAC Galleries, San Francisco; Portland Institute of Contemporary Art, Portland; JSMA, Portland; Linfield Gallery McMinnville; Pitzer College Art Galleries, Claremont; Tacoma Art Museum, Tacoma; the Urban Institute of Contemporary Art, Grand Rapids; Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts, Wilmington; and The Sculpture Center, Cleveland. She has been granted residencies at Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, Ucross Foundation, the MacDowell Colony, Studios at Mass MOCA, Santa Fe Art Institute and the Rauschenberg Foundation. Her work has been supported through grants and awards from the Oregon Arts Commission, University of Oregon and The Ford Family Foundation. She received a Hallie Ford Fellowship in 2014 and was named the twenty-eighth Bonnie Bronson Fellow in 2019.  / / /Event DetailsWednesday, June 17 -  Lecture begins at 6:00 PMFirst Floor Mediatheque @  Pacific Northwest College of Art 511 NW Broadway, Portland, OR 97209Both in person &amp; online.
