On Sunday the 7th we present you Iman Issa . This Egyptian artist
has been living in New York the last couple of years. You can
discover this gem during a presentation of her work. She will
show you videos and images that will be discussed afterwards
during an interview with Muhka curator Grant Watson. Iman Issa is
an artist whose practice deals with questions pertaining to the
available forms and methods for representing personal history,
perception, and experience, and how these might intersect with
shared and familiar languages. Her work spans photography,
sculpture, video, texts, and installations, often relying on
everyday and familiar forms to open up a space where unique
instances, experiences and stories could be told and represented.
Issa approaches the fleeting images, moments, and sounds that
make up our everyday life as raw materials to be shaped at will,
standing to speak of other moments, images, and sounds that may
appear highly lyrical while never wholly defined. Confronted with
Issa's work, one often has the feeling that he/she has seen it
before, however it is not clear where or when and if in a
pleasant dream or nightmare, for something always seems terribly
off center, just plain wrong.
