Rose Spahan and Jeanette Armstrong | Indians After Sex. 1995. Detail
“In Indians After Sex Rose Saphan and Jeannette Armstrong contest the disappearing imaginary of the North American Indian at the level of Native sexuality. Two Northwest Coastal–style masks lie in bed together, as one smokes a post-coital cigarette. These masks are far from the inanimate and sterile representations of Indigenous materialities found in museums—they are sexual and agential beings.” from Nation to Nation by Lindsay Nixon for Canadian Art. https://canadianart.ca/features/nation-to-nation/

Carmen deals with the subject of freedom, obsessive love and murderous jealousy. The short story mainly features the characters of Carmen and Don José, whose passionate love for the beautiful bohemian is one-sided, resulting in the murder of Carmen by Don José.” (Source)

Faig Ahmed is renowned for his mesmerizing textile pieces. He completed his most recent carpet design after months of interruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This remarkable red tapestry, ‘Doubts’, features intricate patterns that dissolve into a viscous fluid shape, framed by white tassels.
Ahmed’s contemporary carpets are based on traditional textile craftsmanship, which he then deconstructs and reimagines in new and exciting ways.
