ENCOUNTER, Soo Gallery in Tehran
Facing the female “self” in the intimacy of a private space to express feelings and emotions is the theme of the group exhibition organized by the Austrian Cultural Forum Tehran on the occasion of International Women’s Day on March 8, 2021 in cooperation with Soo Gallery of Contemporary Art, Tehran. In digital times, we are confronted with a flood of images, networked forms of communication and diverse interactions in cyberspace, where the word “loneliness” takes on a whole new meaning. In this intercultural, hybrid exhibition project in cooperation with Tehran’s Soo Gallery, 4 female artists find their own creative expression in an encounter with the “self”.
On the occasion of this year’s International Women’s Day, the selected Austrian artists Michaela Schwarz-Weismann, Elisa Andessner and the Iranian artists Maryam Farhang, Azam Shadpour interact with each other across cultural borders and artistic media (photography, visual arts, video installation). The group exhibition is curated by Maryam Farhang, visual artist.
Exhibition opening on March 5, 2021 (music: Dominik Hellsberg, ensemble member of the Vienna State Opera). Duration of virtual exhibition: March 5, 2021 until further notice; duration of present exhibition: March 5 – April 4, 2021 at Soo Gallery, Tehran.
