Iranshahr Art Gallery Nov 2017 Maryam Salour Dandelion 03
Tehran

به آتليه رفتم تا ادامه کار بدهم. بر روى بوم‌ قاصدکی جا خوش کرده بود. دیدنش برایم حس بازیگوشی و شادى به همراه آورد.

سال‌ها است با خاک کار می‌کنم. دست‌هایم در آن ریشه دوانده، تا آن جا که همه کارهایم ــ سفال، حجم، سطح ــ به خاک مرتبط است. قاصدکِ نقاشی ما هم روی بوم نشسته بود ــ هم بوم نقاشی که رنگ‌ها هنوز روی آن نقش نبسته بود و   هم بومِ زادوبوم تَرَک‌ خورده و خُشک. 

قاصدک فقط میهمانِ بوم بود، اما به مرور برای خود جا باز کرد، بومی شد. حالا هم موضوع این مجموعه شده، که البته این تنها از سر نام‌گذاری است. در حقیقت بستر همان خاک است ،خاك كه حافظه جهان ماست و قاصدک به عنوان بازیگر نقش اصلی، آرام، در سكوت، بر صحنه پدیدار می‌شود، نرم و بازيگوش، تسليم و بى‌وزن، لحظه ای زمان را از حرکت باز می‌دارد.

در فضای بیکران می‌رقصد و می‌چرخد و به بوم بُعد می‌بخشد. با بازیگوشی زمین و آسمان را به هم نزدیک می‌کند. زمینِ تشنه با بارشی ساقه تُرد را هُل می‌دهد و ساقهْ پس از چندی کُرک‌های سفیدش را به آسمان می‌فرستد. پس شاید موضوع نقاشی ما رابطه‌ای است میان زمین و آسمان که قاصدک پیام‌آور آن است.  

معلق در فضاى راز‌آلودى كه ايجاد كرده قاصدک از دل خاک سر بر می‌آورد و مجذوب‌كنان، با توشه‌ای از خاطره‌ها، پیام‌ها، و آرزوها، در سکوتْ دور می‌شود و چيزى جز بی‌زمانی وشفافیت باقی نمی گذارد.

Dandelion

I went to the studio to continue work. On my canvas lay a dandelion. Seeing it brought me a sense of joy and play. A wide field opened before my eyes. It was as if the canvas had turned into soil for the flower to grow. 

I have worked with soil for years. My hands have ran roots in it, to the point that all my works — ceramic, sculpture, canvas — are of earth. The dandelion flower of our painting sat on the sufrace — both that of the yet-to-see-color canvas and the layer parched and dry earth.

The flower was just a guest, but it slowly found its place in the filed and became native. "__Dandelion__" is now the title of these series of painting, but only in name. In fact, the canvas is the stage on which the flower, slowly, quietly appears and takes the lead role — placidly, playfully, abidingly, and weightlessly — and stills time. 

The dandelion flower whirls and dances in infinite space, bringing breath to the canvas. It playfully joins heaven and earth. With a mist of rain, arid soil sprouts and the dandelion stem sends off whirling flowers. So, perhaps, the subject of these paintings is that which connects heaven and earth.

Suspended in a mysterious space that it engendered, the dandelion sprouts out of soil and moves on with delicacy, on the wings of memories, messages, and dreams, leaving nothing behind but innocence and transparency, and of course the earth, which is the memory of the world.

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.
