Thanks to the lower temperature (a bit)  in Tehran, Galleries are slowly waking up with solo/debut shows by young artists and of course, group shows are trendy too, for this time of the year.

Mehrva Gallery with new directors Amirali Golriz & Azin Raad, has been raising a lot of attention lately with their vibrant programming showing a great selection of photographs and drawings.
the second half of August will be reserved for photographers;
With “The Emphasized Six” a current photo installation (and interactive ) by Babak Haj MohammadAli, Ghazaleh Zeinalpour & Nima Maghsoudi and the upcoming show by Hamid Janipour & Roozbeh Roozbehani called “Mourning for the dead sister”, and their photographs from Istanbul, Turkey.

Aaran gallery has hosted a Solo Video exhibition of Aiyar Rasti. Titled “PRO.LOGUE”. Opening at Aaran Gallery on 21st August.

The questioning notion of time, Aliyar Rasti will present six video artworks that have been in making for almost two years. These works are a play between staged and documentary image-making; by documenting real-time events in Long Takes and deluding the essence of time, he attempts to create loops. Continuous moving images that are trapped in time.

He writes: Occurrences do not begin but are a continuous eternity
In the passage of time, we arrive to a point of occurrence and experience it. Based on our experiences we categorize occurrences and create borders. Borders break down the polarity of  Being and credence repetition.
