Azadeh Gholizadeh

Goldfinch is proud to present a solo booth of works by Iranian artist Azadeh Gholizadeh (she/her), whose needlepoint tapestries explore and draw upon ideas about light, time, color and memory; Modern architecture and modernist grids; digital versus analog perspectives; the history of women-centric fiber art techniques; and the design of Persian manuscripts such as the Shah Nama, and Persian gardens and mosques. Through these tapestries, Gholizadeh imagines alternative ways of situating marginalized bodies and queered perspectives within shifting landscapes, while also depicting the fragmentation of memory that occurs when the place(s) where one has formed their core identity, their “homeland” (be it literal or metaphorical), have become inaccessible.

Goldfinch will participate in Untitled Art Miami 2022 with a booth highlighting the work of gallery artists Carris Adams, Iris Bernblum, Meghan Borah, Mari Eastman, Azadeh Gholizadeh, Minami Kobayashi, and Scott Wolniak, with an installation of Whale Bells by exhibited artist Jenny Kendler in collaboration with Andrew Bearnot.
