Satisfaction Not Guaranteed by Nooshin Hakim Javadi

Exhibition Runs: June 12 - July 11, 2021
In Satisfaction Not Guaranteed, Nooshin Hakim Javadi re-contextualizes games of strategy and chance, inviting viewers to enact global conflicts in the form of seesaws, darts, and Tic-Tac-Toe. By reimagining popular games as political objects, the work creates visual metaphors for how conquest, in a variety of forms, often masks itself as liberation. Nooshin Hakim Javadi works at the intersection of sculpture, installation, and performance. As an Iranian now living in the United States, Javadi’s practice investigates the material culture of conflict, displacement, and transition, by delving into how these experiences are internalized by the body.
