Deepa R. Iyengar explores spaces in order to discover within them what is missing, invisible, or unrealized. Her preoccupation with the hidden manifests in installations which are dominated by loaded silences of space or time. Frequently her topics have to do with power, control, and liberation.
Deepa has participated in various solo and group shows in Iceland, Lithuania, and the U.S. In Iceland, some of the places she has shown are Reykjavík Art Museum (Hafnarhús), Kling&Bang, The Living Art Museum, and Ásmundarsalur (Gryfjan) as part of the artist collective D.N.A.
Deepa holds an M.A. degree in Fine Art from the Iceland University of the Arts. She is a resident of Iceland, though originally from the U.S., where she attained an M.Sc. in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a B.A. in Physics and Astronomy from Carleton College.
