グッゲンハイム美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (グッゲンハイム美術館Instagram)「A #MuseumMomentofZen—and a reminder to breathe today. ⠀ Since the early 1990s, Shirazeh Houshiary has been making paintings and drawings that evoke universal human experiences. Working on the floor over the canvas, Houshiary begins these works by drawing Arabic words that she repeats in delicate layers over an acrylic ground. The colored pencil markings are woven like a chant, their minute reverberation transitioning from legibility to invisibility to create an immersive immateriality in works like “Presence” (pictured). ⠀ The form of these works as well as the meaning of the words themselves are not of primary importance to Houshiary; rather, they are a starting point for an encounter with the sublime: “I set out to capture my breath, to find the essence of my own existence, transcending name, nationality, cultures.” ⠀ __ “Presence” (2006–07), © Shirazeh Houshiary #ShirazehHoushiary #GuggenheimCollection #Guggenheim」11月4日 0時49分
