Now in residence street-side at Art Produce is SDSU MFA candidate Sepideh Shamloufard. Shamloufard's work was included in the video collection "Intervals of Process" that was recently on view in the gallery windows, and her works featured Persian script and poetry written with a calligraphy pen and ink pot, from the point of view of the writer. Shamloufard's hair — or its shadows — also shows in the frame. For this three-week installation, Shamloufard will use interactive video to explore her childhood in Tehran, ideas of migration, time, memory and moments, as well as hair — how fundamental hair is to our human condition. There's also a large sculptural paper work installed in the gallery. Details: On view through Nov. 21, 2021. Contact the gallery for appointments. Art Produce, 3139 University Ave., North Park.
