Installation artist to feature exhibit

Site-specific installation artist Laleh Mehran wil exhibit How to Catch a Moth’s Shadow in the John A. Day Gallery in the Warren M. Lee Center for the Fine Arts.

Mehran, the daughter of an Iranian scientist, has lived in the United States for the majority of her life.

She became a professor of new media at the University of Denver in 2007. Mehran’s creative process is influenced by a combination of her scientific, theological and political concepts.

The installations Mehran produces are interactive, often including performative pieces, where viewers can help direct the expansion of installation.

Mehran has exhibited her work throughout the United States, including a recent solo exhibition at the Denver Art Museum.

How to Catch a Moth’s Shadow will be on exhibit beginning Nov. 5 until Dec. 3.
