                                                    Sheida Soleimani Birds of Passage NEW YORK September 5 to October 7, 2023 Opening Reception: Friday, September 8th, 6-8 pm Denny Gallery is pleased to present Sheida Soleimani’s  Birds of Passage . In the newest installation of her series  Ghostwriter , Soleimani “ghostwrites” her parents’ lives: as pro-democratic dissidents targeted by the totalitarian regime in Iran after ’79; and as stateless refugees forced to seek asylum across Europe and in pre- and post-9/11 America. In these photographic assemblages, Soleimani creates palimpsests of memories as a way to reckon with the narratives that she herself has constructed throughout her life from her parents’ stories, drawings, notes, and artifacts of the seismic events that continue to shape their lives. Portrait of Sheida Soleimani by Mel  Taing for Boston Art Review, 2022. Sheida Soleimani was born in 1990 in Indianapolis, IN and lives in Providence, RI. She received an MFA from Cran

              Jessie Edelman  BOOTH: A101 Dates September 6-10, 2023 Location COEX 1F, Hall A&B, Grand Ballroom, 513, Yeongdong-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul Jessie Edelman is an American artist who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Her paintings are windows into luscious, colorful and vivacious scenes which purposefully conjure utopian outdoor spaces bringing to mind memories of vacations and summer days. The artist is looking to tap into the aspirations and fantasies of exploring other places. Drawing from distant memories mixed with future facing desires the artist offers up worlds which are both familiar and yet unspecific. In her review of Edelman’s 2022 solo exhibition  Getaway ,  New York Times  critic Roberta Smith described the paintings as “clashing arrangements of gorgeous color; variations in paint-handling and distortions of style, space and scale. They contrast flattening patterns and plunging or tilted depths, modernist sophistication with gleeful naïveté.” The figur
