TEHRAN-- High Line Nine Galleries in New York is hanging works by artists from Iran and Brazil in an exhibition at its Gallery 4.
The display entitled Brazil x Iran: Colors - & Forms is curated by Roya Khajavi and Flavia Tamoyo.Works by Maritza Caneea, Afsaneh Jabbari, Sylvia Martins, Dana Nehdaran, Dariush Nehdaran, Malekeh Naini, Rona Neves, Zahra Nazari, Anna Paola Protasio, Maryam Palizigir, Vincent Rosenblatt, Mana Sazegara, Atieh Sohrabi, Bruno Schmidt, Erick Vittorino and Faranaz Zabetian are on view at the occasion that opened on February 2.
With Brazils long history of colonialist impacts combining with indigenous patterns and traditions of art and craft making and Irans Persian codes and symbols expressed in textiles and fine art, we see patterns emerging from varied cultures, surpassing, underscoring and blending with the other, the organizers wrote in a declaration for the exhibit, which will be going through February 15.
Using those codes and patterns as well as interpreting present occasions and mental concerns originating from the tension of politics, the pandemic and perennial problems in maturing in our difficult world, Brazilian and Iranian artists artistically use visual medias international language to get in touch with each other and the viewer, they said.
Khadjavi is an independent manager and cultural manufacturer based in New York.
She has actually largely concentrated on the work of young Iranian artists working both in Iran and beyond its borders, looking for not just to support their artistic ventures but to also assist in awareness and cultural dialogue between creative communities.
Because 2008, she has actually actively coordinated exhibitions by artists from the Middle East for organizations, consisting of the Guggenheim Museum and the Asia Society, where she sat on the steering committee of the critically well-known exhibit, Iran Modern.
Brazil and Iran have a long history of blending with impacts from the outside, Khadjavi has stated.
Iran, regardless of many invasions by foreign powers throughout its history, has a deeply rooted ancient culture and has actually been able to keep her abundant heritage and identity which impacts her art to this day, she added.
Similarly, Brazils various ethnic groups, a large native population, a strong native culture, the Portuguese invasion, which resulted in 600 a century of colonialism, and Western culture have actually also produced a rich history plentiful in diversity and color from which her modern artists cant leave, she noted.Photo: A poster for the exhibit Brazil x Iran: Colors - & Forms at the High Line Nine Galleries in New York.MMS/ YAW
