Mahsa Biglow (b. 1990, Tehran) is a multi-media artist and independent writer. As a writer, she writes critiques and reviews on contemporary art in the Persian language. Her artistic practice focuses on the troubled relationship between her country of origin, Iran, and the United States where she is residing today. In her work, she explores the sociopolitical impacts the two countries project on one another. A writer and editor for Kaarnamaa Art Magazine, Biglow earned her BFA in 2012 from the University of Tehran, Iran and an MFA from Rutgers University in 2019. She has been a part of exhibitions, screenings, and projects in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Tehran, Iran, and Warsaw, Poland, and is a 2019 recipient of the Nadine Goldsmith Fellowship at the Vermont Studio Center. Along with her upcoming residency at the Vermont Studio Center, Biglow was a 2019 artist-in-residence at the Goggle Works Center for the Arts in Reading, Pennsylvania. She is a freelance writer and a contributor to Kaarnamaa Art Magazine and works as a part-time lecturer at Rutgers University, where she received her MFA at Mason Gross School of the Arts.
