It's the weekend!

As the work week draws to a close, time to unleash that alter-ego and get to that weekend fun-time. Speaking of alter-egos, which goes along the lines of casual appropriation of something we like, dislike, or just want to try... Anahita Razmi (b. 1981) is an artist who takes pop culture and puts her own spin on it. Whether an hommage to Yoko Ono's "Cut Piece"(1965) or relinquishing her inner bad-girl via Tracey Emin... the German-Iranian artist does it tongue-in-cheek. Predominantly using the medium of video, there is a grounded-ness and accessibility to her works that maybe...some other video artists might be missing?

But in a technology-screen age, sitting down for a little visual stimulation should be no extra hassle, and Razmi is definitely worth finding and sitting through.

Lucky we can find her video works a few places right now:

VIENNA! (Vienna Fair, Oct 10-13)
LONDON! (Moving Image Fair, Oct 17-20)
VENICE! (Venice Biennale, until Nov 24)
VANCOUVER! (Access Gallery, until Oct 26)

And since it is the weekend, let's keep with the theme...
