Overview

Zarouhie Abdalian (b. 1982) lives and works in New Orleans. The artist typically employs modest materials to produce subtle conceptual or formal effects that stage an alteration or a shift of perception within the immediate environment. Rooted in the particularities of site and context, her work often responds to the specific attributes of a given location, architectural setting, or social landscape. Using sound, performance and sculpture, she draws attention to the overlooked by framing a space and restoring forgotten aspects of its layered history. In this capacity, Abdalian explores the concept of labor and the movement of objects and resources in support of said labor.
