"در نتیجه، نسبت جنسیت به فرهنگ همانند نسبت جنسیت ذاتی به طبیعت نیست؛ جنسیت ضمنا ابزاری ست فرهنگی/مفهومی که توسط آن مفاهیمی چون "ذات دارای جنسیت طبیعی" یا "جنسیت ذاتی طبیعی" شکل می گیرد و سپس به مثابه پیش شرط و امر ثابت هر گفتمانی و مقدم بر فرهنگ تلقی می شود. در چنین شرایطی جنسیت بستر سیاسی خنثایی ست که فرهنگ بر آن سوار است."

جودیث باتلر، مشکل جنسیت

مجسمه ساز بودن برای مهسا تهرانی بهانه ایست برای به چالش کشیدن هنر هنجارگرای مردانه و محافظه کار؛ چه در استفاده اش از ابزار ساخت صنایع دستی خانگی مثل الیاف وبافتنی ها و چه در نحوه ارائه اثر و ابعاد آن. در دوران دانشجویی هنر کارهایش کوچک بودند و ظاهری فروتنانه داشتند، طوری که در کنار آثار دیگر در نمایشگاه ها و دوسالانه ها به سادگی دیده نمی شدند. اما به عنوان نویسنده ای که مدتهاست کارهای مهسا تهرانی را دنبال می کند در آثار اخیرش تفاوتی آشکار دیدم؛ نوعی اضطرار در سرکشی برابر فضای غالب مردانه ای که با مجسمه سازی در راستای هنجارگرایی اقتدارگرا برخورد می کند. در مجموعه پیش رو، جسارت و جاه طلبی تهرانی در دست و پنجه نرم کردن با مفاهیم مادرانگی و جنسیت به عنوان برساخت های اجتماعی  ستودنیست. در این مسیر او اشکال سنتی تولید شیئ هنری را دستکاری می کند، بوم سپید و برجستگی های ظریف اسپرم مانند در این مجموعه یادآور آثار مینیمالیستی ست؛ اما مینیمالیسمی که به فوران خون واژن، اشکال جنین وار و پیچان و انفجار ناگهانی شکاف سرخ بر سطح خنثای بوم آراسته است.

این مجموعه "بستر به لحاظ سیاسی خنثای جنسیت" مورد اشاره باتلر را هدف می گیرد وبا نمایش جزییات مشوش کننده زایمان، به خصوص در بطن فرهنگ مردسالاری که تلاش دارد آنها را از انظار دور نگه دارد، طبیعی بودن پیش فرض های جنسیتی را مورد سوال قرار می دهد، اما در ضمن همان زبان فراگیر مردسالار را به مثابه ابزار بیانی اختیار می کند؛ در واقع امر خانگی را در جهت نافرمانی به کار می گیرد.

“As a result, gender is not to culture as sex is to nature; gender is

also the discursive/cultural means by which “sexed nature” or “a natural

sex” is produced and established as “prediscursive,” prior to culture,

a politically neutral surface on which culture acts”

― Judith Butler, Gender Trouble

Mahsa Tehrani has long engaged with sculpture making as an act of questioning heteronormative mechanisms of art production; not only in her choice of a media that are traditionally associated with domestic craft e.g. Fiber, woven textile, etc. but also in her artistic strategies of rendering and size. As an emerging artist and student of arts her objects were often modest in size and in a gallery setting, quite easy to miss. However, as one observing and following her works over the years, I find in her recent works an increasing urge to rebel against a predetermined, male dominated context that frames "sculptor" along the same lines of heteronormative womanhood. Her recent works are quite outspoken and ambitious in the way she deals with notions of motherhood and gender as social constructs through manipulating traditional forms of art making. Blank canvas in her recent works is a reminiscent of minimalist art with stylized subtle projections of spermatic shapes, but minimalism gets a splurging treatment of vaginal blood and swirling, fetus like shapes and sudden eruption of red crevices on neutrality of the white surface.

Her recent show troubles the "politically neutral surface" of sex and childbirth as natural by laying out the same disturbing details deemed inappropriate to demonstrate in a patriarchal setting; yet in doing so she employs the same quintessentially male dominant language; her art speaks to domesticity as an act of subversion.

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.
