“Second Nature” with Abbas Akhavan, Toronto-based artist

-

Room 229, North Borden Building, 563 Spadina Crescent

Abbas Akhavan’s practice ranges from site-specific ephemeral installations to drawing, video and performance. The domestic sphere, as a forked space between hospitality and hostility, has been an ongoing area of research in Akhavan’s work. More recent works have shifted focus, wandering onto spaces just outside the home – the garden, the backyard, and other domesticated landscapes.
