Rokni Haerizadeh (b. Tehran, 1978) lives and works in Dubai. His work with Ramin Haerizadeh and Hesam Rahmanian has been the subject of two solo museum exhibitions: Slice A Slanted Arc Into Dry Paper Sky at the Kunsthalle, Zurich (2015) and The Birthday Party at The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), Boston (2015-2016).

He has participated in numerous institutional exhibitions, notably Carnegie International (2013); New Museum, New York (2014); Asia Pacific Triennial, Brisbane (2015); and the Sharjah Biennial (2011). His works are held in public and private collections, including The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Carnegie Museum of Art, British Museum, Tate Modern, Devi Art Foundation, JP Morgan Chase Art Collection and Rubell Family Collection.

Haerizadeh maintains a collaborative practice with Ramin Haerizadeh and Hesam Rahmanian. In January 2014, the artists participated as fellows in the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation’s residency in Captiva, Florida. Fictionville, a monograph of Haerizadeh’s work edited by Negar Azimi, was published in 2014 by Koenig Books.
