Inma Herrera (Madrid, 1986) and Shirin Salehi (Tehran, 1982) form a collective of visual artists that investigates the language of engraving in relation to sculpture, video and installation.
Through their shared practice, Herrera and Salehi connect the grammar and poetics of creative processes in multiple art, exploring the concepts of matter, time, and ritual in an open space of continuous interrogation of metalanguage and the role the body plays in the creative process.
In 2019, her project proposal, A Fixed Point for Orientation , was awarded the 2019 Pilar Juncosa and Sotheby's Biennial Prize by the Pilar y Miró Foundation in Mallorca, and was exhibited in the Foundation's spaces in 2021. Her individual work has been recognized through numerous artist residencies and awards, including the scholarship from the Spanish Academy in Rome (Herrera, 2017, Salehi, 2020), the 2020 Ducat Prize (Herrera), and the 2015 Ankaria Foundation Prize (Salehi). Both have been nominated for the prestigious Queen Sonja Print Award in Norway. They reside and work in different cities, Herrera in Helsinki and Salehi in Madrid.
