عنوان مجموعه: هزار و سیصد و شصت ساعت و بیست و یک دقیقه
افتتاحیه 15 اسفندماه الی 24 اسفندماه
(شنبه 16 اسفندماه گالری تعطیل خواهد بود)
نوگل مظلومی دقیقا" هزار و سیصد و شصت ساعت و بیست و یک دقیقه، صرف تکمیل طراحی های چشم گیر و نیرومند این مجموعه نموده. این رفتاری دیرینه است؛ بازپرداختن به سنت طراحی با قلم و مرکب که همیشه مورد توجه هنرمندان ایرانی بود و ریشه های آن به دوره ایلخانی باز می گردد. طی قرون متمادی، هنرمندان ایرانی در خلوت خود تصاویر حیرت آور و جذابی از دنیائی شگفت آور خلق کرده اند که عکس العمل به خشونت، آشوب و محرومیتهائی بوده که به نظر می رسد همیشه بخشی از زندگی روزمره بوده و هستند
این هنرمند جوان به دغدغه مرگ و نیستی می پردازد و برای کاتالوگ نمایشگاه می نویسد: مرگ بازگشت به تهی ست. چرا تهی را می¬پسندم؟ از آن جهت که ذهن ما فرای زندگی را متصور نیست. پیش و پس زندگی، آنجا که توان تصورش بر ما پوشیده است، تهی است. مرگ همان تهی بی¬کران است که زندگی در فواصلش ایجاد می¬شود. مرگ چیزی نیست که انجام یا واقع شود. مرگ از هرگونه فعلی عاریست. مرگ در حالی که از هرگونه فعلی عاریست تمامی افعال را نیز در برمی¬گیرد، زیرا که مرگ زندگی را در برگرفته است. در حقیقت آنچه که واقع می¬شود زندگیست. اینگونه، مرگ هم زندگی است و هم نیست.
در این طراحی های خارق العاده، هنرمند زندگی و زیبائی را از قعر خیرگی به مرگ، بیرون می آورد. در خطوط او موسیقی جریان دارد و توازنی برقرار است که چشم نواز و تسکین دهنده است. از خاکستر ققنوس بر می خیزد که گفته شده آگاه به اسرار این جهان و آن دنیای دیگر است. از نیستی بیرون می آید تا دوباره زندگی و اعجاز بسازد و به آتش فرو می رود تا پاکیزه تر بازگردد. و این اشارتی است به خاصیت خودساختن و بازساختن هنر ایرانی که منشا" قدرت و ماندگاری آن است؛ هنرمندانی که شجاعانه به مواجهه هراسهای شخصی و جمعی می روند و از سطح توقعات عادی گذر می کنند و پیروز باز می گردند، هربار مقتدرتر، هربار تواناتر
Nogol Mazloumi
Exhibition titled:
One thousand, three hundred sixty Hours and twenty-one minutes
Opening on 6th March 2015
It has taken Nogol Mazloumi, exactly One thousand three hundred sixty Hours and twenty-one minutes to complete the startlingly powerful drawings of this exhibition. It is an archaic attitude, one that is retention of an age old practice of Iranian artists and their interest in pen and ink drawing which is well documented to Il-Khanid period (1256-1353 AD). For centuries Iranian artists, in their solitude, have created marvelous imagery, a separate world where they have found the redeeming answer to brutality chaos and frustration that seems always to have been a part of daily life.
Nogol Mazloumi is preoccupied with notion of death and non existence. For the catalogue she writes:The notion of before and after life which is incomprehensible to us, is void. Death is a boundless void, and in its intervals life exists. Death is not performed and is not a position, it’s devoid of any act. But it contains all acts because it engulfs life. In reality It is life that happens. So in this way death is both life and it is not.
In these breath taking drawings, artist creates life and beauty out of her fixation with death. Through her lines music flows and the harmony which the eye enjoys as it passes to and fro over the compositions is soothing. Here is Phoenix rising from ashes, phoenix who is believed to possess the knowledge of all times and the netherworld. From ashes she arises to create life and wonderment. She plunges in to flames to be purified and to rise again. It is this self renewing quality in Iranian art that has been the merit and source of its survival through dark times with artists who have boldly faced their own demons and have risen above expectations, each time stronger, each time mightier.

Overview and HistoryTehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."Getting ThereMehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.TransportationTehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.People and CultureMore than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.Things to do, RecommendationsTake the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.Tehran is also full of museums such as:the Contemporary Art Museumthe Abghine Musuem (glass works)the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museumthe museum of carpets (!!!)Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniaturesand most stunning of all,the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.Text by Steve Smith.
