Saba Askari is a New York-based, Iranian-American visual artist. Her work is informed by a preoccupation with mortality and control in an entropic universe. Traditionally a draftswoman, she has grown her artistic practice to include labor-intensive performances which aim to record existence by removing daily objects and actions from normative cycles of consumption. Detritus and objects generated during these private performances are evidence of her existence. Her work has been exhibited in New York, Berlin, and Abu Dhabi.

 

In 2018, she graduated from Columbia University with a bachelor's degree in visual arts. She currently works in arts administration while studying psychodynamic counseling at Northwestern University.
