Neda Razavipour

Biography

Neda Razavipour (b.1969, Iran, Tehran), lives and works between Tehran and Lucerne. Having studied art as a practice for investigating space, stage, and installation at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs EnsAD in Paris, she explores the question of balance, a condition that continually shifts between the extremes of order and chaos. This search affects the individual as well as entire societies, spaces and structures. For this reason, Razavipour’s artistic works are usually conceived site-specifically developing in a precisely thought-out choreography over several days, weeks or months. Often using action or performance, the artist manipulates the stable structure of the artwork. Razavipour’s scenarios can be compared to a scientific process, which repeatedly generates results, but continues to gather new experiences, from the reactions of the audience. Razavipour has received international acclaim, participating in a number of group shows around the world including: Recalling the Future, curated by Hamed Yousefi and David Hodge at Brunei Gallery (SOAS University), London and Inside Iran, curated by Gertjian Zuilhof and Bianca Taal shown at the Rotterdam International Film Festival to name two. On top of this, Razavipour has had a number of solo exhibitions such as Les Trésors du Temps, Installation and Photography, with Tatjana Erpen, curated by Cornelia Ackermann and Susann Wintsch, at Trudelhaus, Baden, Switzerland.
