ARA DOLATIAN
Ara Dolatian’s interdisciplinary practice explores the relationship between cultural landscapes and the natural ecosystem. His ceramic works are hybrid ecosystems which simultaneously resemble semi-functional apparatus, models of utopian cities and biological experiments. Dolatian’s work is also imbibed with numerous ideas centred upon conceptions of ‘the studio’ and ‘the laboratory’ as well as the conceptual domain of socio-environmental politics.
Visual interpretations of socio-cultural and technological environments, Dolatian’s work aims to anticipate future discourses of the humanities and sciences - art and science have long been engaged in exchanges of ideas and narrative structures. His work is an abstract visualisation of the evolving intersections and dialogues between the human and non-human: nature, biology and technology..
