Melika Shafahi ‘The New Media’

Hamzianpour & Kia is pleased to present The New Future, the first solo exhibition in the United States of the Paris-based artist Melika Shafahi.

At a time when the lines between real and virtual are increasingly blurred, the latter may appear to be more and more the defining structure of our social condition, but the risk is that by attaching too much importance to it, we end up trapped inside. Melika Shafahi’s exhibition of photographs, videos, and site-specific installations invites us instead to shift our gaze joyfully towards one of the noblest features of artistic creation: its ability both to grow out of encounters and places, and stimulate new ones.
