NOOSHIN ROSTAMI

Nooshin Rostami is an artist, designer, and educator. They use a glossary of materials and terms: light, shadows, reflections, structures, landscape, space, and place. They refer to these vocabularies within different physical and metaphorical contexts to construct poetic and sometimes political narratives. Through installation, sculpture, and performance-based work, Rostami activates indoor or outdoor spaces in which the audience is encouraged to experience space as an exploration of the interrelationship between shadows, physical objects, and their reflections ultimately pointing to ways of seeing that cultivate curiosity, close observation, and multitudes of perspectives.

Rostami received an MFA from Brooklyn College CUNY in NY (2011) and has exhibited in solo and international group settings including California Museum of Photography-UCR ARTS (2019), Jardines de Mexico (2019), Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions-LACE (2018), Queens Museum(2018), among others. They were awarded the visiting artist fellowship at Urban Glass in New York City in 2022. Since 2014 they have participated in multiple residencies such as BRIC Art Media and Art Omi.
