Chupan Atashi

Chupan Atashi (1980) is an Iranian artist currently living in Amsterdam. Since their BFA in photography in Tehran, and their postgraduate education at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, they have developed a body of work consisting of assemblages, sculpture, photography and video.

Shifting between conceptualism and materiality, imagery and iconography, Atashi’s practice explores the possibility of becoming within static systems as well as concepts of gaze.

Their work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions at de Appel Amsterdam, Framer Framed Amsterdam, M HKA Antwerp, REDCAT Los Angeles, Artissima Turin, Salzburger Kunstverein, Graz Kunstverein Palais, de Tokyo Paris.

They were part of the exhibition Speaking from the Heart – The Polemic Sensibility from Iran (2013) and Elsewheres Within Here, curated by Jo-Lene Ong at Framer Framed, Amsterdam.
