About

Why this artist matters now

Nairy Baghramian creates site-responsive sculptures and installations that investigate the spatial and physical relationships between architecture, objects, and the human body. Working across diverse materials and forms, her practice is grounded in careful observation of how objects occupy and transform architectural contexts. Based in Berlin since 1984, Baghramian's work has been shown at major institutions including MoMA and is represented by Marian Goodman.
