Shahryar Nashat's Studio in Asnières-sur-Seine
The 347th installment of Hyperallergic's 'A View From the Easel' series features artist Shahryar Nashat, who works in Asnières-sur-Seine, France. Nashat moved from Glendale, California, to this studio three years ago. He sculpts while listening to 1990s music by Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Aaliyah, and Kelis. His favorite materials include papier-mâché and Fabrican, a spray-on fabric he used to 'dress' his Mothers sculptures at Gladstone Gallery on 64th Street in Manhattan. He shares the building with other artists, including Cooper Jacoby. Nashat's favorite local museum is the Gustave Moreau Museum, which André Breton called the most moving of all museums. He also enjoys fresh noodles from Nouilles Fraîches Tibétaines and misses the bright sunlight and roll-up gate of his former Los Angeles studio.
