    BIO/STATEMENT:

    Ala Ebtekar describes his work as “a visual glimpse of a crossroad where present day events meet history and mythology”. As a young teenager he joined the seminal group K.O.S. (Kids of Survival), working with artist Tim Rollins on collaborative artworks involving groups of urban youth. He received his BA from the San Francisco Art Institute and his MFA degree from Stanford University. His work has been exhibited internationally and was recently featured in two prestigious exhibitions: One Way or Another: Asian American Art Now, a touring exhibition originating at the Asia Society, NYC, and in the 2006 California Biennial at the Orange County Museum of Art. This past year Ebtekar was featured in Bay Area Now 5, at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco. He is a visiting lecturer at UC Berkeley and Stanford University. Ala Ebtekar lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area.
