Biography
Talal Al Najjar is an artist from the Emirates, based between Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Los Angeles. Driven by researching, archiving, and distorting, his practice recontextualizes material culture, artifacts, and imagery, tinged with irony. Defamiliarization and the uncanny prompt new anthropological and material questions in his work, utilizing an absurdist lens. He produces sculpture, video, sound, animation, painting, and installation, in addition to writing and curation. Primary concerns include simulation, postproduction, image-saturation, counter-futurisms, and the contention of contemporary conditions. He received his MFA from ArtCenter College of Design (2023), and his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2021).
