Alinah Azadeh

Alinah Azadeh is a British-Iranian artist with a background in painting, new media and video. Since her MA in Media Arts Practice at Westminster University (2001), she has created installations that combine textile media with texts and networked technology.

Her highly interactive works present the public with opportunities for self-reflection and an emotive dialogue with each other. She is interested in the poetic within everyday life and the use of ancient practices such as gift-giving, Moshaereh (communal poetry reciting) and bibliomancy (the art of divining with books)  to inspire socially driven artworks.

Recent works include The Gifts, (2010) a suspended installation of 999 objects given to the artist by the public and wrapped in cloth. This commission, for Bristol Museum and Art Gallery through The Shape of Things was her first major solo show in the UK. The Bibliomancer's Dream (2009) and Dream On (2010), two large-scale, interactive book installations commissioned by the South Bank, London, were developed in collaboration with sculptor Willow Winston.

'Chasing Mirrors: Portraits of the Unseen', was a collaborative installation for The National Portrait Gallery, London, exploring ideas of non-figurative portraiture.

Azadeh works across disciplines, and is currently focused on working with cloth, poetry, mirroring and personal or found objects. Alongside her public work, she makes smaller works, including fabric sculptures and drawings.
