"Farah Bajull: Untying the Knot"
2001-09-19 until 2001-10-26
Institute of International Visual Arts
London, , UK

Farah Bajull creates powerful, intensely direct work that focuses on the notions of protection, vulnerability, fear and survival. For her residency exhibition at TheSpace@inIVA, Bajull creates a new work centring on a 20-metre long worry bead that is transformed into a knot - an obstinate mass that is at once seductive and inert.

Bajull's new work expands the interdisciplinary approach that she has recently developed. Her practice represents a compelling merger of divergent visual forms: ranging from carefully constructed objects to stand-alone photographs, Bajull often generates imagery from her own performance documentation or video footage. Alongside the charged, invigorated nature of her subject matter, it is this fusion of procedures that defines Bajull's work.

Bajull belongs to a burgeoning group of young, female artists from the Middle East who tackle issues of national and female identity, and of race and gender representation. In commissioning Bajull, inIVA is continuing its practice of proactively supporting emerging artists at an early stage in their career.

Farah Bajull graduated from Chelsea College of Art in 1996 and gained her MA at the Royal College of Art in 1998. Her recent exhibitions include 'Us and Them,' University of Hertfordshire Galleries, Hatfield; 'ARK 2000,' Café Gallery Projects, London; 'Handbag,' City Gallery, Leicester; 'Four Degrees In the Open,' Standpoint Gallery, London.
