Most Wanted by Taraneh Hemami

May 9 - June 30, 2007
Gallery Hours: Tues by appt, Wed - Sat, 12 - 5pm, FREE
Opening Reception: Wednesday, May 9 at 6pm

Most Wanted, a solo exhibition by Iranian-born painter, installation and conceptual artist Taraneh Hemami, investigates the nature of perception, recognition, and representation while examining the construction of the image of the new enemy. Interpretations of a series of faceless portrayals of the most wanted terrorists as identified by the United States government contemplate the ways in which stereotypical perceptions of people are created while pondering the relationship between image and identity. Exploring themes of displacement, preservation, and belonging, her paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and installations investigate the in-between spaces: between art, artifact and architecture; between two and three-dimensional space; between technology and hand crafted objects.

Taraneh Hemami received her MFA from California College of the Arts in 1991 and has exhibited regularly at national and international venues. When Hemami came to the United States in 1978 to attend the University of Oregon at Eugene, she had little idea of what the future held. Within a year of her arrival in this country, the Iranian Revolution had changed her homeland forever and prevented her from visiting for more than a decade. As an Iranian living in the United States, it's not surprising that Hemami's art would explore her complex relationship with the concept of home and her struggle to secure a sense of belonging from both her country of residence and the country and culture of her youth. In many ways, Hemami's art is her home. Influenced by Persian art, architecture and poetry, her multidisciplinary works explore the complex cultural politics of exile through personal and community projects and installations. She has received awards from the Creative Work Fund, the San Francisco Arts Commission, California Council for the Humanities, and the James Irvine Foundation. She has been an Artist in Resident at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, Montalvo Center for the Arts, California Art Council, Kala Art Institute, and The Lab. She has exhibited her work locally at the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery, The Lab, Works, Berkeley Art Center, SFMOMA Artists Gallery, San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, Euprhat Museum of Art, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. She is the 2005-2006 visiting artist at the Center for Public Life at the California College of the Arts in Oakland, CA.
