이력

Shezad Dawood's work plays with the multiple possibilities engendered by the play between cultures, histories and fictions and takes from such genres as the frontier politics of the Wild West, to esoteric Islam, to the performance of history as slapstick. At the same time he deconstructs notions of authorship and representation by working with a steady stream of collaborators. These range from other artists, to film-set designers - all the while questioning the whole process of image-making and dissemination, moving through various points of identification. Including on a formal level: film, posters, performance, video and painting.

While starting from a point of cultural binary – the artist’s own somewhat blurred cultural heritage between India, Pakistan and Britain, the artist openly plays with various devices from avant-garde theatre, the conventions of art-house and low-budget film-making, to notions of cultural in-authenticity and appropriation.

Shezad studied at Central St. Martins before completing an MA & Mphil at the Royal College of Art. He completed his PhD at Leeds Met, looking at theatrical allegory as a device within contemporary art practice. His recent exhibitions includeKalimpong, Timothy Taylor Gallery, London (2016)  Videonale, Kunstmuseum Bonn, Bonn (2011); Abraaj Capital Art Prize, Art Dubai, Dubai (2011); A Mystery Plan, Plug in ICA, Winnipeg (2010); The Jewels of Aptor, Paradise Row, London (2010); Cities of the Future, Chemould Prescott Road, Mumbai (2010); The Colour Blue, Abadi Art Space, New Delhi (2010); The State, Traffic, Dubai (2010); Living in Evolution, Busan Biennale, Busan (2010); Rude Britannia: British Comic Art, Tate Britain, London (2010); Grand National, Vestfossen Kunstlaboratorium, Vestfossen (2010); Wonderland: New Art from London, Assab One, Milano (2010); As The Land Expands, Al Riwaq Art Space, Kingdom of Bahrain (2010); The Empire Strikes Back: Indian Art Today, Saatchi Gallery, London (2010); I Knew I Should Have Taken that Right Turn at Albuquerque, Washington Garcia, Glasgow (2009); Montana, Galerie Gabriel Rolt, Amsterdam (2009). In 2009 he also participated in the AiM International Biennale 3rd Edition, Marrakech, Morocco; The Artist’s Studio, Compton Verney, Warwickshire; Making Worlds, The 53rd Venice Biennale, Venice and in Altermodern: Tate Triennial 2009, (curated by Nicolas Bourriaud), Tate Britain, London.
