Sobey
Award
winner
Abbas
Akhavan
was
born
in
Tehran
and
lives
in
Toronto.
His
artistic
practice
takes
the
form
of
site-specific
installations,
drawing,
video
and
performance
that
is
shaped
by
political
concerns,
issues
of
migration
and
the
domestic.
Abbas
has
reinterpreted
spaces
“beyond
home”
such
as
the
backyard
and
the
garden
as
ephemeral
compositions.
More information about his work can be found on his website.
