  • Modernism in Iran:1958-1978 Colin Browne & Pantea Haghighi
    In conversation: Modernism in Iran:1958-1978 Colin Browne & Pantea Haghighi Pantea Haghighi and Colin Browne met on June 20, 2018 to discuss Modernism in Iran: 1958-1978, which ran from January 26 to May 5, 2018 at Griffin Art Projects in North Vancouver, BC. Colin Browne: I’m speaking with Pantea Haghighi, owner and curator of Republic Gallery in Vancouver, BC, about an exhibition she organized recently entitled Modernism in Iran: 1958-1978. Would you be willing to describe it for us, along with your intentions? Pantea Haghighi: Sure. The exhibition featured works by Mohammad Ehsai, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, Mansour Ghandriz, Farideh Lashai, Sirak Melkonian, Bahman Mohasses, Faramarz Pilaram, Behjat Sadr, Parviz Tanavoli, Mohsen Vaziri-Moghaddam, and Charles Zenderoudi. These artists played an important role in establishing Modernism in Iran during the cultural renaissance that occurred between 1958 and 1978. In Iran, their work is referred to as Late Modernism. I decided to divide the gallery in half. On one side I placed the work of those artists who were exploring their national artistic identity, returning to old Persian motifs in order to identify with Modernism. On the other side, I placed the work of artists who were heavily influenced by Western art. When you entered the room, you were immediately aware of the two different expressions of Iranian Modernism. CB: I want to ask about the show, but let’s frst talk about what might be called Early Modernism in Iran. PH: Early Modernism dates from around 1940, when the School of Fine Arts at the University of Tehran opened.

  • Je Vous Jure, Je Ne Suis Pas Une Peintre Abstraite ! Il Est Dit Que Si Le Coupable Se Repentit, Dieu Pardonne Ses Pêchés Et Il Sera Racheté
    Communiqué de presse / Press Release Behjat Sadr Une exposition proposée par / curated by Daniele Balice & Cyrus Goberville Du 5 Avril au 1er Juin / April 5th through June 1st « Je vous jure, je ne suis pas une peintre abstraite ! Il est dit que si le coupable se repentit, Dieu pardonne ses pêchés et il sera racheté. Je reconnais ma faute. Oui, j’étais une peintre abstraite, mais je vous en supplie, pardonnez mes pêchés et acceptez ma repentance. Je ne penserai plus de manière abstraite. Je jure devant Dieu que je peindrai une fleur comme une fleur. Et je mélangerai la boue et l’engrais pour les jeter à votre visage, pour que vos poumons s’ouvrent. Vous, animaux qui reniflez la bouse de vos congénères et léchez leur arrière train dans vos enclos. Vous qui ne connaissez que votre minuscule et sombre monde et ne percevez aucune sensation, mise à part l’odeur de leurs pets. » Behjat Sadr, Lettre non envoyée en réponse à une personnalité du marché de l’art iranien, retrouvée dans le journal intime de l’artiste, 1976 « L’angoisse et la terreur de cette fin de siècle peuvent-t-elles être représentées par une peinture sur toile ? Doit-on les exprimer par les mots ? Doit-on les photographier ? Il faut ... il faut utiliser et prendre tout ce qui peut exprimer les sentiments de notre époque, les arracher des magazines, les coller... et trouver à nouveau d’autres outils. L’expression à travers la peinture est tellement vaste aujourd’hui. (...) Cet homme qui grimace avec un pneu collé sur sa bouche n’exprime-t-il pas la vie de beaucoup aujourd’hui ? » Behjat Sadr, A propos des photocollages, 1995 Behjat Sadr (1924 - 2009) est née à Arak, en Iran.

  • FIFI HURLE DE JOIE DE LA S CAM 2013 Le Chef-D’Oeuvre Inconnu De Bahman Mohassess
    CINÉMA DU RÉEL – P RIX – INTERNATIONAL FIFI HURLE DE JOIE DE LA S CAM 2013 Le chef-d’oeuvre inconnu de Bahman Mohassess Un film de Mitra Farahani FIFI HURLE DE JOIE Sortie le 2 octobre 2013 Un film de Mitra Farahani Synopsis Fifi hurle de joie témoigne des deux derniers mois de la vie de Bahman Mohassess, légende de l’art moderne iranien. Ce curieux Diogène contemporain, après un exil volontaire d’une trentaine d’années, s’apprête à réaliser son œuvre ultime. Celle-ci lui est com- mandée par deux admirateurs, artistes eux-mêmes, venus d’Iran. L’intrigue se dirige progressivement vers l’histoire de ce « chef- d’œuvre inconnu ». L’histoire Bahman Mohassess se considérait comme un éminent acteur de l’Histoire mais plus personne n’a entendu parler de lui depuis que l’Histoire l’a englouti. Certains le croyaient en retraite dans sa terre natale de Rasht au sud de la mer Caspienne. D’autres étaient convaincus qu’il était en Italie et avait quitté l’Iran à jamais. Or c’est bien dans une chambre d’hôtel à Rome que nous le retrouvons. Fifi hurle de joie témoigne des deux derniers mois de sa vie, à l’épreuve de sa légende. Lors de son ultime séjour à Téhéran, il dé- truisit presque toutes ses œuvres, n’emportant avec lui qu’un groupe de petites sculptures. La destruction est un sentiment naturel chez celui qui considérait ses œuvres comme des créatures vivantes. Durant ces dernières années romaines, il continuait néanmoins les collages de petits formats, les gardant au secret.

  • Fifi Howls from Happiness a Film by Mitra Farahani
    presents Fifi Howls From Happiness a film by Mitra Farahani 2013, Iran, 96 min. Unrated. In Farsi with English subtitles For press materials: http://www.musicboxfilms.com/fifi-press Official site: http://www.musicboxfilms.com/fifi NY & LA Publicity: Sasha Berman Shotwell Media 310.450.5571 [email protected] Music Box Films Marketing/Publicity: Distribution Contact: Brian Andreotti/Rebecca Gordon Andrew Carlin 312-508-5361/312-508-5362 312-508-5360 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] SYNOPSIS Mitra Farahani’s lyrical documentary explores the enigma of provocative artist Bahman Mohassess, the so-called “Persian Picasso,” whose acclaimed paintings and sculptures dominated pre-revolutionary Iran. Irreverent and uncompromising, a gay man in a hostile world, Mohassess had a conflicted relationship with his homeland—revered by elites in the art scene and praised as a national icon, only to be censored later by an oppressive regime. Known for his iconoclastic art as well as his scathing declarations, Mohasses abandoned the country over 30 years ago for a simple, secluded life in Italy. While the new Iranian government destroyed many of his works, Mohassess himself obliterated even more-- in rage at man’s inhumanity to man, environmental destruction, and the futility of idealism. Ranging from tender to playful to haunting to grotesque, these unforgettable pieces were as mercurial as the man himself, a chain-smoking recluse with the mouth of a sailor and the soul of a poet, touched by a mischievous spark and as likely to lapse into a political rant as a burst of eccentric laughter. Determined to interview Mohassess, fine artist/filmmaker Farahani discovers him living alone in a hotel room in Rome and begins to craft the perfect final biography, in his own words and on his terms.

  • UNEDITED HISTORY Iran 1960 – 2014
    UNEDITED HISTORY Iran 1960 – 2014 Sequences of modernity in Iran from 1960 to the present Over 200 works for the most part unseen in Italy, taking us through an exploration of Iran’s contemporary history from 1960 until today. A unique occasion to renew our look on this multi-layered history and culture that often attracts attention. December 11, 2014 – March 29, 2014 www.fondazionemaxxi.it Rome, 10 December 2014. Over 200 works, for the most part unseen in Italy, and more than 20 artists introducing us to more than half a century’s art and culture in Iran; a country often arousing attention and fascination while its complexities still need to be unfolded carefully. Here is the challenge raised by Unedited History. Iran 1960 – 2014, an exhibition conceived by the Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, curated by Catherine David, Odile Burluraux, Morad Montazami, Narmine Sadeg, on the overall, and Vali Mahlouji for The Archaeology of the Final Decade section. The exhibition is jointly produced with MAXXI (December 11, 2014 – March 29, 2015). In the attempt to cross Iran’s modern visual culture, Unedited History offers us a renewal of our viewpoint on this country and of the preconceptions that need to be challenged through a critical approach. The premise of this historical journey does not believe in assembling and presenting a unitary history of Iranian modern art. But rather in engaging with its gaps, blind alleys and unresolved complexities, proceeding with a specific montage that holds together the contentious dimensions of a seemingly “unedited” History.
