Etemad Art Gallery Feb 2013 Raheleh Nooravar On The Rise It Putrefies 02
Tehran

 

آنچه که در نخستین مواجهه با آثار راحله ببیننده را با خود در گیر می کند کیفیت پارادوکسیکال آنهاست. به اعتقاد من خوانش این آثار تنها با تمرکز بر مفهوم قدرت میسر خواهد بود و بسط پارادوکسها در ارتباط با مفهوم قدرت سرشت این آثار را شکل می دهد. 

گویی که این آثار به مثابه نشانه هایی خود را به مخاطب عرضه می نمایند که در آنِ واحد بر دو مفهوم زور و فرم قدرت اشاره دارند. سترونی و تکرارها نشانه تلاشی تاریخی و در عین حال احمقانه برای رسیدن به نقطه نهایی قدرت است که در نهایت تنها به در گیری با وجود خود منجر خواهد شد. بدین معنی که به طور کلی کارکرد خود را ازدست می دهد و تنها در سترونی و تو در تویی و تکرار و لابیرنتها اسیر است و دست و پا می زند و بدین ترتیب است که در مواجهه با این آثار در یک لحظه هم با مازاد مواجهیم هم فقدان !

 این سترونی و تکرارها که به مثابه امر مازاد خود را به ما می نمایانند تنها کارشان عینیت بخشیدن به فقدان است، چرا که به واسطه همین تکرارها است که قیچی ها کارایی و همبستگی ارگانیک خود را ازدست می دهند و علی رغم ظاهر سترون، ایستا و خود بنیادشان تنها کاری که از دستشان بر نمی آید یگانه شرط وجودیشان است که همانا بُرندگی است....

امیرحسین بیانی‫، بهمن ۱۳۹۱‬

 

The first thing that confronts the viewer by creating inner conflict is the paradoxical quality of Raheleh Nooravar’s work. In my opinion, reading them is only possible after focusing on the concept of power, and that the expansion of paradoxes in relation to power, shapes the essence of the works.

It’s as if the artworks are symbols, presenting themselves to the audience, simultaneously indicating to the concept and form of force and power.

Sterility and repetition are signs of historical yet stupid attempts in order to reach the final level of power, which ultimately only leads to conflict with ones own existence. As a result, losing its application and left entirely trapped in sterility, entanglement, repetition and labyrinths we are confronted by both deprival and overindulgence in these works.

These sterile repetitions that reveal themselves as objects of excessiveness simply become a means of fulfilling the lack there of, because it is through this very repetition that scissors lose their organic means and cohesion, and contrary to their sterile, solid and self sufficient appearance the only thing they are not capable of doing is their only reason for existing in the first place… cutting.

More About Tehran

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.
