Super Superficial
March 8 to 24, 2024
Xchanges is excited to announce the exhibition opening of Super Superficial on Friday, March 8, 2024 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Super Superficial is a solo exhibition by visual artist Kosar Movahedi that challenges the boundary between the exhibition space and image-based work.
Combining photography with drawing and collage, this body of work plays with the surface and frames of images. This makes for a dynamic experience where the viewers slip into the world of knowing and not knowing what they’re looking at, instead considering the process of viewing and making.
Opening night:
Friday March 8, 2024, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Gallery hours:
Continues every weekend from Saturday, March 9 until Sunday, March 24 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
