Biography
David Abir (David Marcus Abir) has begun to build a reputation in the contemporary art field as a composer and sound specialist for artists working in video. He has worked with artists Shirin Neshat, Shahzia Sikander, and Alfredo Jaar. Tekrar is entirely Abir’s own work and the exhibition is his first solo museum project. Octavio Zaya, who first commissioned the piece for a group exhibition entitled After the Revolution. Contemporary artists from Iran, writes “(Abir has) embarked upon a path that opens a new field of multi-disciplinary potential. The juxtaposition of the sometimes almost imperceptible adaptation or modification of the sound that accompanies the tenuous changes in lighting of the outer ear and this controlled space where the music happens, manages to modulate an extraordinary multi-sensorial experience, which we have only recently begun to consider among the emerging trends in artistic practice.”
