The publication Farkhondeh Shahroudi marks the artist’s US debut exhibition, of weeping trees (2024), at the Goethe-Institut New York. Rather than serving as an exhibition catalogue, it presents a retrospective glance at the pivotal moments and major series in Shahroudi’s practice, stretching as far back as her figurative paintings from her time as a student and extending as recently as the 2024 works made during her residency at the International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP) in Brooklyn, New York. In this publication, the authors dive into Shahroudi’s rich practice, privileging the artwork and contextualizing her artmaking within a wider concept of worldbuilding.
