From Catriona Jeffries: Abbas Akhavan

Abbas Akhavan discusses Curtain Call—his two-part exhibition held simultaneously at Copenhagen Contemporary and Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, June 23–November 26, 2023. Akhavan’s expansive installations recreate Palmyra’s treasured columns and Iraq’s looted National Museum to consider how these contested sites exist as images in the collective imagination.
