Residency at Pinault Collection

Tirdad Hashemi & Soufia Erfanian

Tiridad Hashemi, and partner Soufia Erfanian, have spent the past year in Lens as part of the Pinault Collection artist residency, creating a new body of work. 

 

Located in a former rectory, the Pinault Collection’s artist’s residency was inaugurated in December 2015. As a place to live and work, it provides time and space for artistic practice at a site that is well-suited for creating things. Residents are chosen by a selection committee that includes representatives from Pinault Collection, the Grand Large FRAC, Le Fresnoy School for Contemporary Art, the Louvre Lens, and the Lille Art Museum, or LaM.
