Description

Hayv Kahraman Project Series 52 by Rebecca McGrew is an artist's book that explores the intersection of Eastern and Western concepts of beauty. Born in 1981, Los Angeles-based artist Hayv Kahraman creates paintings and wall works that address diasporic cultural memory, feminine collectivity, and gender identity through her personal history as an Iraqi émigré. The book presents a discourse between these themes, merging Kahraman's biography with various styles, including Persian miniatures, Japanese illustrations, and Italian Renaissance paintings. The artist's visual language reflects on displacement, loss, and trauma, while the repetitive nature of her work and the act of shredding and mending convey a history of colonization. The book includes never-before-published images of Kahraman's work, as well as performance texts, new essays, and poetry. This unique collection offers insight into the artist's creative process and provides a nuanced exploration of identity, culture, and beauty.
