Scruff of the Neck (LL 29/25) 2016
Nairy Baghramian (Isfahan, Iran 1971-)
For this series of delicate and surreal sculptures. The artist envisioned, mouth-like space, adorned with metal structures and smoothwhite forms that resemble the equipment of dentistry, orthodontic braces and teeth. There is a sense here of contrasting forces and materials that are bound together in an ongoing negotiation of position. The metaphor of the gallery as a body suggests that this is not a neutral space, but rather one to be inhabited, activated and interrupted.
