Tent. Basel, Kunsthalle Basel, 29-09-2017, 07-01-2018 ; New York, Swiss Institute, 20-03-2018, 02-06-2018. - Monografie toont foto's, sculpturen en videostills van de kunstenaar Shahryar Nashat. - Bodies function, fight, and fail. People bear witness to these processes every day, actively and passively, in the flesh and on-screen. But bodies are also unruly: they desire and shapeshift and betray. This oscillation between the realities of mortal progression and everything that transpires in those indeterminate zones serves as the basis for Swiss artist Shahryar Nashat’s visceral, future-facing practice. What Nashat presents to us, the viewer, are depictions of humanness, of aliveness, filtered through ways of seeing that may have not yet arrived. There are hypotheticals at play, although the sensations generated in Nashat’s sculptures and videos point toward primal expressions of desire and survival.
