Living Room: Azza Zein by Nina Sanadze

Azza Zein is an installation artist and writer who lives and works in Narrm/Melbourne. Born to a Syrian mother and a Lebanese father, Zein grew up in Beirut, Lebanon. Her practice-led research examines concepts of value in art through the materiality of domestic space and personal experience as a migrant. Through a process of rematerialisation, conceptualised as care for  ‘migrant  materials’, her recent works comment on the dematerialisation of the economy and offer a revaluation of invisible labour. Her artistic research draws on her heritage and her background in economics to explore how artistic processes can be alternative modes of revaluation. Zein recently completed a Master of Fine Arts at the Victorian College of Arts, the University of Melbourne. She has exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions held in artist-run spaces in Australia. She has participated in art residencies in Argentina, India and remotely the Santa Fe Art Institute Labour residency. Zein was recently a finalist in the Incinerator Gallery Art for Social Change Award (2020), Australian Muslim Artist Award (2019) and the Athenaeum Club award (2020). Zein won the Fiona Myer Art+Australia Internship award for 2020. She published her writing in Art + Australia, in Kohl Journal for Body and Gender Research, Un projects review and recently Kings Artist-run Live from the field. She also performed in the CARE: transforming values through art, ethics and feminism, at George Paton Gallery in 2019.  http://www.azzazein.com/   / 3azzazein   Living Room’ is a series of short films by visual artist Nina Sanadze.

Nina Sanadze’s artistic practice variously employs sculptural form, installation, public art, performance and film to reflect upon the embedded psychology of built environments and communities. She is interested in revealing beauty and meaning through these poetic means and humour. Referencing grand political narratives through the visual history of monumental public art and architecture, Nina’s artistic projects explore themes of threat, fear and collective memory. By addressing transnational and transcultural motifs on an individual scale through strategies of transmedial worldmaking, she seeks to experientially merge the personal and political, public and private, monumental and domestic, tragedy and beauty. https://ninasanadze.com   / nina_sanadze
