Rachel Khedoori (born 1964 in Sydney, Australia[citation needed]) is a contemporary artist of Iraqi Jewish[1] heritage based in Los Angeles and known primarily for her mixed use of sculpture, film and architecture.[2][3]

Biography[edit]

Khedoori was born in Sydney and raised in Australia. She is the identical twin sister of the artist Toba Khedoori,[4] and the sister of David Khedoori. She is also the widow of artist Jason Rhoades.[5]

Khedoori received her BFA from San Francisco Art Institute in 1988.[6] She received her MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1994.[7] She was a visiting professor at the Academy of Art, Malmö, Sweden in 1996.[8] Khedoori began exhibiting in 1994, a joint debut show with her sister, Toba Khedoori.[4] Her first complete solo show gained international attention at Kunsthalle Basel and Kunstverein Braunschweig in 2001.[9] Her exhibition in Basel focused on film projected onto 2-D and 3-D objects.[10] Rachel's work blends life and the abstract use of film, sculpture and installation.[10]
