Meet exhibition artists Alexandre Dorriz and Danial Nord for a talk about their works in Offal.
About Alexandre Dorriz
Alexandre Dorriz is a research-based artist investigating auto-Orientalism, memory and fiber. In an ongoing series, he has archived his maternal family’s history of working with and collecting textiles for four generations, much of the collection smuggled into North America during the Iranian Diaspora of the 1970s and repurposed as gowns by his mother in the 1990s.
About Danial Nord
Danial Nord is an interdisciplinary artist who reinterprets the familiar language and trappings of mass communication. Nord’s provocative installations draw from his accomplishments as an award winning designer-animator in the entertainment industry, as an internationally based fashion designer, and as a scenic and prop artist for film, television and theater. His agile manipulation of color, light, form, moving image, and sound catches viewers in a cycle of seduction and confrontation.
