DURATIONAL SPACE #5! Opening on Nov 21 

Let us introduce one of the five commissioned artists, and give you a closer look at Farhat’s artistic practice!

 👉Roxy Farhat!  👉

Roxy Farhat (b. 1984, Tehran; lives and works in Stockholm) often draws on personal experiences or situations in her work, addressing issues such as capitalism’s influence over public and private spaces, prejudice, social structures, and the role of art itself. Her works are often marked by kitschy and absurd humor rooted in political gravity.

💥

Farhat studied at Konstfack in Stockholm and the University of California, Los Angeles. Her artistic practice encompasses visual art, performance, film, music videos, and more. Her works have been shown in various solo and group exhibitions in Sweden and internationally, including at Göteborgs Konsthall, Index in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Bonniers Konsthall, Southbank Centre in London, and Haugar Vestfold Kunstmuseum in Norway. Among other projects, she has directed music videos for artists like GNUČČI, Zhala, and The Knife.

For LPS she will, with your help, trying to answer a series of existential questions, like: why are we creating art, when the world is on fire?

”Has art accepted its own demise? Our shared culture is being dismantled, a party born out of Nazism is steering Swedish politics, right-wing winds are blowing across Europe, the world watches as children are bombed to death, and the climate catastrophe threatens the very foundation of human life. And yet, we continue making art, not revolting.Is it time to leave art behind, or can it become something stronger than it is today? Come and help me answer these questions at LPS, November 21 – December 6. 

My friend ANA RAB will welcome you and guide you on how to participate. 

On December 7, there will be an open concluding discussion where I will make my decision.” – Roxy Farhat (October 2024)
