Artwork
Khedoori's work is an examination of her environment and the spaces, both interiors and exteriors, she inhabits physically and mentally. Rachel Khedoori uses architecture, sculpture and film to create highly complex interpretations of time and space. Khedoori’s works juxtapose real, actual spaces with remembered or imagined ones. Rachel Khedoori gained international recognition with her first comprehensive solo exhibitions at Kunsthalle Basel and Kunstverein Braunschweig, 2001, which also established her with an international audience.
Rachel Khedoori is represented by Hauser & Wirth. She has exhibited with Hauser & Wirth on a number of occasions, first in 1998 then 2002, 2007 and most recently 'Rachel Khedoori', Hauser & Wirth, Piccadilly, London, (2010).[8]
She has had solo exhibitions at Kunsthalle Basel and the Kunstverein Braunschweig in 2001, and at Villa Arson in Nice, France in 2004. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna, Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, Kunsthaus Graz, Austria, and Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles.
