This week: British Iranian artist Lilian Nejatpour discusses her piece, Choreophobia. Nejatpour’s practice questions technological invasiveness and sentimentality. Choreophobia examines the intervening occurrence of colonialism and Western thought on Middle Eastern dance, with its interference on the censoring and transformation of gender and sensuality in male bodies. Choreophobia is at Chisenhale Studios in August as a work in progress, presented by curating collective To Whom This May Concern, and then at Somerset House, London in September.
Bio:
Lilian is a British Iranian artist whose practice questions how technological invasiveness and sentimentality, two very distinct modes, operate alongside each other and what problems arise when they are captured and re-situated in conversation through sculpture and video.
