Noam Toran (b. 1975, the United States) is an artist living and working in London. Hiswork involves the creation of intricate narratives developed as a means to reflect upon the interrelations of history, cinema, literature, design and memory. Noam Toran’s works examine how fictions influence the collective consciousness, be it as collective myth or memory forming. This is realised through an original way of deconstructing and reconfiguring cinematic and literary codes, conventions and structures, and weaving them with historical materials, thereby complicating the relation between artifact and artifice. His work has been exhibited, screened and published internationally, notably at the Centre Pompidou (Paris), Museum of Modern Art (NYC), Kunsthalle Wien (Vienna), Venice Architecture Biennale, Victoria & Albert Museum (London), Israel Museum, Baltic Contemporary (Newcastle), Arnolfini Gallery (Bristol), Center for Contemporary Art (Tel Aviv), Musée D’Art Moderne (Luxembourg), Miyake Studio Gallery (Tokyo), Kulturhuset (Stockholm) and Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin). Noam Toran teaches at the Royal College of Art, London and HEAD, Geneva.
