Iman Issa: Heritage Studies at PAMM

Through Sept 27, 2015

Issa will present a new body of works drawn from a larger series entitled Heritage Studies. Issa’s multimedia works explore the relationship between history, memory, language, and objects. Issa’s modest but beautifully crafted objects, short videos, snapshot-like photographs, and accompanying texts use language and juxtaposition to create ambiguous, but resonant tableaus. These sculptures represent a shift in scale for the artist and an expansion of her material vocabulary.

Iman Issa is an artist based in Cairo and New York. Her sculptural series “Heritage Studies,” 2015–, which revisits forms drawn from history, had been featured in the Twelfth Sharjah Biennial from March 5 to June 5, 2015. New iterations of this project will also be on view this year in Issa’s solo presentations at the Pérez Art Museum in Miami (April 2 to October 4) and the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (May 18 to June 28).
