SUMMARY:Ghazaleh Avarzamani: Churn\, Earn\, Burn and then Return
DESCRIPTION:Examining familiar objects and settings — like playgrounds\, 
 board games or sport arenas — Ghazaleh Avarzamani’s complex mixed media
  installations reveal the insidious ways in which our social and political 
 realities are constructed\, exposing the underlying social\, economic and p
 sychological structures that govern human behavior\, knowledge and power re
 lations.\n\nPoetic\, funny and politically incisive – her works aim to un
 cover the paradoxical realities beneath the surface of society and its trad
 itions\, educational methodologies\, individual aspirations\, and cultural 
 utopias. Through the careful scrutiny of popular forms of cultural expressi
 on such as fables\, nursery rhymes\, games\, sports and manuals\, she consi
 ders the persistent norms\, rules and influences that shape interpersonal r
 elations and impact our daily lives.\n\nOften creating spaces that are simu
 ltaneously inviting and destabilizing\, Avarzamani interrogates the archite
 cture of our society to encourage critical investigation and action. Churn\
 , Earn\, Burn and then Return offers a seemingly playful environment where 
 viewers quickly discover the stakes are higher and the underlying implicati
 ons more somber. Yet\, at a time when we might feel powerless against large
 -scale global shifts\, her work invites us to recognize and potentially dis
 rupt the systems of control surrounding us.\n\nCurated by Mona Filip.\n\nht
