    Abbas Akhaven, Untitled, everything, 2008. Site-specific installation made at Western Front, Vancouver BC.

Abbas Akhavan (Iran/Canada) has been living in Canada since 1992 where he obtained a Masters of Fine Arts from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. His practice ranges from site- specific ephemeral installations to drawing and video, with a recent focus on spaces just outside the home – the garden, the backyard, and other domesticated landscapes.

His work has been exhibited in galleries such as Vancouver Art Gallery and Artspeak (Canada), Kunsten Museum of Modern Art (Denmark), Le Printemps de Septembre a Toulouse (France), Belvedere Museum (Austria), with upcoming solo exhibitions at Aaran Gallery (Iran), Modern Fuel and The Darling Foundry (Canada). He is represented by The Third Line (Dubai).
