curated by esther lu and adnan yildiz

Esther Lu and Adnan Yildiz invite us to a discussion around the
role-position of artist today in reference to the changing structures
of contemporary art. Today, artists are traveling a lot due to
residencies, biennials, grandiose exhibitions and etc. And they do not
like to be involved into these processes as "tourists" but they are
also somehow tourists in this game… In relation to their research in
Stockholm, Yildiz and Lu select inspirational videos in order to
trigger a discussion around how artist
deconstruct-fictionalize-establish-reproduce him/herself in/through
their works in this given traveling context. The curators introduce
the concept of 'universal traveler' and contextualize the issue around
the hot topics like ''new-internationalism", "mobile identities", "art
market-ing" and "globalization-alism".

AK28 is the venue of this show for its identity as being an artist-run space.
Supported by Cultural Division, Taipei Mission in Sweden

• a title of a song by white stripes is transformed.
• video screening is also the premiere of S.G.F.S. (survival guide for
stockholm), a research based curatorial project by Adnan Yildiz

Conscious in Coma

Conscious in Coma is an art project initiated by NOMAD in collaboration with Goethe Institut, Istanbul and Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Center. The project is designed to be a long-term networking and archiving project. The name of the project indicates a simple and direct reference to the current unbalanced and devastated state of the globe accompanied by the collective silence and blindness. The project intends to collect, disseminate, and discuss the perspectives and realities of diverse positions in multiple formats. In this respect, the primary focus of the project is to trace, detect and comprehend art and cultural productions which render different cases, approaches and realities with multifaceted cultural, political and social situations.

Conscious in Coma is designed to be a collaborative process of nine curators: Elena Veljanovska (Macedonia), Stefan Rusu (Moldavia), Nat Muller (The Netherlands), Vera-Maria Glahn (Germany), Basak Senova (Turkey), Jack Persekian (Palestine), Clare Davies (Egypt), Christine Tohme (Lebanon), and Amirali Ghassemi (Iran).


LOST IN NO SPACE
curated by Amirali Ghassemi (IR)
Behrang Samadzadegan, Behnam Kamrani, Amirali Mohebbinejad, Negar Tahsili, Raha Faridi, Mohammad Reza Heydari, Ehsan Behmanesh, and Azin Feizabadi.

Video as a medium has been recognized as both an elevator and an escape route for the new generation of Iranian artists since the beginning. As they started their anxious, immature experiments; video became a popular medium although the lack of education and the big cultural gap beside the availability, transferability and ease of use made this journey quiet fragile, expect the few “successful” established artists who emphasize on the exotic face of their country of origin made them able to jump on the “train”, the rest are producing boring materials for the weak small scaled but good looking elitist! Art scene. But on the other hand there are others who are not well known, not board On the train, not famous but still eager to make a kind of art which is not only for export , not aimed at the cul-de-sac of Euro-American market. Most of these videos are chosen from parkingallery archive with no specific point of view or resemblance but the fact of being unseen and interesting.

ETHNIC MARKETING

ETHNIC MARKETING
Tracing the Limits of Artworld Internationalism

Contemporary Art Exhibition

Artspace: 13 Vanak Street & Azad Gallery, 41 Salmas Square

Conference and Screening: Shahid Avini Auditorium, University of Tehran
Tehran, 14th – 27th of April 2006

This project raises the question of what is expected or demanded of an artist who attempts to penetrate the “international art circuit”. What does the European market, in particular, wish to buy, and why does it wish to do so. It is now plain to see that the West is not a mere observer of globalized cultural flows, but a consumer playing a decisive role. Just as any other demanding client, it actively defines the supply. Which strategies might be useful when facing such hegemonic structures? This theme was addressed at curator Tirdad Zolghadr’s 2004 exhibition “Ethnic Marketing: Art, Globalization and Intercultural Supply and Demand” (curated with M. Anderfuhren), and is now revisited in Tehran.

The event includes:

• April 14th, 4 PM: opening of group exhibition with seven artists at 13, Vanak Street: Shirin Aliabadi, Bilal Khbeiz, Farhad Moshiri, Erkan Özgen, Sener Özmen, Natascha Sadr-Haghighian
  
• April 14th, 6 PM: opening of group exhibition with eleven artists at Azad Gallery: Atlas Group, Ursula Biemann, David Blandy, Jakup Ferri, Shahab Fotouhi, Jens Haaning, IRWIN, San Keller, Ahmet Ögüt, Sener Özmen, Michael Snow, Peter Stoffel
  
• April 18th, 5:30 PM: film screening at Shahid Avini Auditorium, Tehran University, with films by: Fikret Atay, COM & COM, Dirk Herzog, Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Sener Özmen, Space Campaign, Hito Steyerl, Erik van Lieshout
  
• April 19th, 4 PM: conference with Giovanni Carmine, San Keller, Farhad Moshiri, Natascha Sadr Hagighian, Solmaz Shahbazi, Tirdad Zolghadr et al
