Nazgol Ansarinia, Installation view at What We Know
that We Don't Know, Kadist, San Francisco, 2017
Drawing inspiration from poetic tendencies in Persian literature, where metaphor, irony, and paradox are understood as devices that allow artists to encode their opinions in complex cultural and political circumstances, What We Know that We Don't Know explores the poetic space of paradox, where works intentionally provide multiple angles of interpretation and opposing meanings collide.
Exhibiting artists include: Nazgol Ansarinia, A.K. Burns, Nicolás Consuegra, Trisha Donnelly, Claire Fontaine, Ha Tae-Bum, Walid Raad, and Miljohn Ruperto.
