work of Sadegh Tirafkan
The exhibition focuses on the post revolution
generation in Tehran; home to a large, self-sustaining, vibrant and progressive
art community. Drawn in by art's intrinsic, hermetic codes - both visual and
formal - its space is sought out by an astounding number of students for its
ability to allow for expression. Multiple media spanning from more traditional
forms to graphic design and video are employed and included in this
presentation.
work of Ramin Haerizadeh
The contemporary in the Islamic Republic is
characterized, in its majority, by suspension and mutual tension, where neither
party, state nor individual, can move too much or overstep their boundaries for
fear of upsetting the balance. Iranian culture itself is defined by a long-term
perspective and resistance, not short-term conflict. Thus, the resulting art is
not blatantly revolutionary in either method or purpose, but rather uses humor
as a trenchant tool; finally, it is this very tautness in society and psyche,
that makes for a rich and fertile field, nurtured rather than stifled or
limited, by its contradictions.
