Bringing together twenty artists from the years 1960-1970 and representatives of the new generation, the exhibition focuses on painting, photography and cinema, as well as key aspects of Iran's modern visual culture: posters and documentary material ranging from the Shiraz-Persepolis Festival of the Arts to the revolutionary period and the Iran-Iraq war.
Whether already historic
figures (Bahman Mohassess, Behdjat Sadr, Kaveh Golestan, Bahman Jalali)
or members of the contemporary scene (Barbad Golshiri, Arash Hanaei and
others), all the artists base their work on a critical approach to form
and media. Down the generations, they have played their part in a
reassessment of the way the political and social history of their
country has been written. The exhibition and its accompanying book
invite us to broaden our perception of Iran and its modernity.
