Spray 2007 / Tehran

The First Apearance of Street Art In Tehran Galleries ....

As the first experience of graffiti in Tehran has happened by artists involved with “KolahStudio” Project, we are undoubtedly going to present some in Tehran galleries.

The gallery is not our temple, just a place to play safe. So we are
going to play safe for a week and make some thing real out of it in the
following weeks.

We will be so delighted to see the expansion of contacts and cooperation among the young artists in parallel with the growth and development of Urban Art in Iran and it is noteworthy that such art in its ideal form can have an enormous effect on converting the face of the city in to a more different and elegant one. As the spring of the new generation of Urban Culture and the visual experience KolahStudio presents The Spray Exhibition (September 1st to 1st of October 2007) with the participation of three Iranian artists and seven artists from Germany, India, Finland, Belgium, Israel, US and UK will be held in different public places in different cities in Iran. All the exhibition reports, reviews and materials plus full photo coverage of the show will be published through Brainstorm magazine in the middle of October 2007

1st biennale of Iranian Hand prints

The first Iranian biennale Of Handprints is up for show in Tehran Museum of Contemporary arts.The event is ill by the Lack of Credits and the small amount of Participants as the museum curartores had to expose the Pre revolution archive of Western Modern Handprints by David hokney , Odelon redon , Pablo picasso and too much other Western Idols.at last one should see how the amount of Representation of the old works is more than Iranian Hand prints.

So how they call it the First biennale of Iranian contemporary hand prints? only god knows if he is not got in Limited access.At last I should tell you that the Exhibit at TMOCA was owful and maybe the worst after their previous shows about Islamic Art and Islamic REsistance. I wonder how much they want to Shoot their own body as a museum showing thier official approaches which is absoloutly nothing but hate.
