وصیتنامه

هر گونه ای از حیات در جهان شناخته شده ما همواره قرین مرگ و نابودی است. پس عجیب نخواهد بود اگر که ببینیم بشر همواره، همگام با تلاش برای بهبود وضعیت زیست خود ، در پی گونه ای از مدیریت مرگ نیز بوده است .در طول  تاریخ ، بخش عمده ای از تلاش  انسان وقف  یافتن روشی برای از میان برداشتن مفهوم  نابودی مستتر در واقعیت محتومی چون مرگ شده است .

انسان بطور غریزی، آرزومند بقا است .اما طبیعت به بی رحمانه ترین شکلی در برابر این آروزی بشر مقاومت می کند .تاریخ زیست انسان بر روی زمین تاریخ مقاومت ، سرکوب و رام کردن طبیعت و عناصرآن است .در میان قدیمی ترین یادمان های بشری نمونه های بسیاری حاکی از تمایل انسان به جاودانگی و تمایل به نابود نشدن پس از مرگ دیده می شود .از جمجمه های گچ پوش اریحا گرفته تا قوانین انحصاروراثت در عصر مدرن همه  به نوعی نشان از تلاش برای مقهور کردن مرگ و سرنوشت و سمت و سو دادن به زندگی و بقایای  بشر پس از مرگ می باشد.

آثار من در این نمایشگاه به گونه ای همچون تمامی دیگر یادمان های روشنفکرانه بشر در جدال با نابودی و از یادرفتگی  است . شخصیتهای  درون این تابلوها با بندها و گیره ها به پس زمینه های فاقد هویت ، متصل شده اند و اغلب با المانهایی بر روی چشم چپ که نشانه محدودیت دید است  تلاش می کنند تا عناصر نامعلوم زندگی در حال پایان خود را نظاره کنند .کارهای این  مجموعه همچون هر وصیتنامه دیگری تلاشی است برای دخالت و تاثیرگذاری  درزمان و مکانی که دیگر نیستیم واین خود همیشه یکی از بهانه های خلق هر اثر هنری از دیرباز تا امروز بوده است.هر اثر هنری وصیتنامه ای است از طرف هنرمند که تلاش می کند روش و رویکرد مخاطبانش را نسبت به آینده تحت تاثیر قراردهد .

Testament

Every imaginable life sort on the earth is destined to death and extinction. Therefore, it would not be surprising at all if we witness mankind in an unfailing attempt for managing death alongside their attempts for improving their environment. Throughout history, a major part of humans’ struggle has been devoted to finding a way to obviate the annihilation concept hidden in the inevitable reality of death. This is so because human race is instinctively after immortality. Among the oldest mementoes of human beings ― from plastered skulls in Jericho to the monopolistic rules of inheritance in modern times ― there are numerous examples that prove this predilection of man’s for immortality and eternity after death. However, nature has cruelly resisted this desire of humanity. That’s why the history of man’s existence on the earth is the history of their endurance, suppression and control of nature and its elements.

My works in this exhibition, like many other intellectual mementoes of mankind, are in a continuous contention with demise and oblivion. The characters within these pictures, who carry patches on their left eyes as a symbol of vision limitation, are attached to indefinite backgrounds by straps and clips and try to recognize the unidentifiable fragments of their diminishing lives. The works of this collection ― it should not be forgotten that every artistic work is the artist’s testament to influence posterity’s approach and outlook on future― are an attempt for interfering in and affecting the diachronism that we won’t be a part of anymore. In fact, this has been one of the main reasons for creating artistic works from ancient times to this very day.

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.
