Aaran Art Gallery Apr 2014 Allahyar Najafi Patchwork 03
Tehran

چهل تیکه

نمایشگاه انفرادی اله یار نجفی

فروردین ماه 1393

داستانی که نقل می کنی مثل شیشه های رنگی است که به پنجره ی خانه ات میزنی. آن بیرون هر چه که باشد, هر چه که برود, هرچه که بیاید, فقط همان شیشه های رنگی را میبینی و سایه های پشتش که تیره و روشن ‌.شان می کند. داستانی که نقل می کنی درباره عمق زندگی نیست تنهاروایتی است ازگذر زندگی. قصه ای را نقل می کنی که کلی خرده داستان کنار هم چیده شده هستند، خرده داستانهائی که کمتر کسی به آنها می پردازد.

عکسهای دوبعدونیمی کنار خیابان هم حتما داستان خودشان را دارند. یکی به دلیلی چشمک میزند,یکی به دلیلی از گرگ به ببر میرود و از ببر به عقاب, یکی به دلیلی عمق جنگل را نشان می دهد. دست آخرهمان را می بینی که از پشت شیشه های رنگین پنجر ه ات می بینی.آنچه که "می خواهی" ببینی. هیچ دلیل خاصی هم ندارد. لازم هم نیست که حتما" توضیح اش بدهی. داستان توست و چشمک آن یکی و قصه ای یکی دیگر. چهل تیکه ی میبافی که عین زندگی ست، هر بخش آن به دلیلی هست. مثل مگسی که برای خودش بال میزند که برود اما هوای اطرافمان را عوض می کند و خودش هیچ نمی داند.

 Patchwork

Allahyar Najafi

April 2014

The story that you narrate is similar to installing colored glass on the windows of your house. Whatever is out there, whatever is moving, you get to see the colored glass and the darker or lighter shadows behind them. The story that you tell is not about the depth of life, it’s a recounting of passage of life. Your story is a patchwork of sub-stories, petty stories that not a lot of people care to tell.

The two and half dimensional imagery that are sold at the corner of the streets tell their own tale as well. One winks, the other ones jumps from the wolf to tiger and tiger to eagle, another shows the depth of forest. The final image is similar to what you get to see behind your colored windows. You see “what” you want to see. And there is no particular reason for it. And it’s not even necessary to explain it. It’s your story, the wink of the other, or the story of another one. A patchwork which is just like life. Each part exists for a reason. Very much like a fly that flutters to leave, but gets to change the air around us and it doesn’t even know it.

More About Tehran

Overview and HistoryTehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."Getting ThereMehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.TransportationTehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.People and CultureMore than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.Things to do, RecommendationsTake the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.Tehran is also full of museums such as:the Contemporary Art Museumthe Abghine Musuem (glass works)the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museumthe museum of carpets (!!!)Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniaturesand most stunning of all,the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.Text by Steve Smith.
