about Iranscope ( فارسی )

Writen By

Iranscope takes a different approach to everything. It has tales but narrates not. It criticizes but slanders not. It enjoys a tone inspired by an awareness of art history and artistic mediums. It says so much about without redundancy. At first, it appears personal and closed to the viewer but gradually opens up and becomes familiar. It pretends to be harsh but expresses its agonies through irony.

            Iranscope partly frames the new language of Iranian visual artists, modestly yet profoundly welcoming its audience. Without imposing itself, it allows the addressee to slowly enter the network of patterns and forms and orient himself with what he sees. Iranscope is a rarely encountered example of what informs the spirit of Iranian art. The images of Iranscope present in one package, concepts ranging from artist subjectivities to media products. This is a beautiful yet simple package that the viewer can easily unpack, relate to, enjoy and process without any frustration. In the upcoming presentation you will see all different media used one way or the other in the works of four artists: this is because Iranscope has gone beyond, while remaining conscious of all classic definitions and conventions of technic and tactic,  applying them when needed without becoming dependent upon or indebted to  them. Hence, you will find in each and every work of these artists as well as in the overall exhibitions, such turn of tactics, techniques and meaning as well as a kind of easiness in choosing mediums relevant to the concepts which, without expressing themselves, slowly enter the mind of the viewer and rest there.
