Seyhoun Art Gallery Nov 2014 Maryam Kouhestani But Still Everything Is Fradgile 01
Tehran

 شاید همه چیز از "هذیانها"ی بکت شروع شد، از سنگینی نامحسوس سر و دستها در حالت ایستاده، آرنجهای برآمده، چشمهای بسته، چهره ای کاملا جدی که مثلا گوش می دهد، نگاهش پوشیده و چهره اش پنهان. آنچنان در خود فرو رفته که انگار سالهاست در سکوت و مراقبه به سر می برد یا مرد مسافریست که می خواهد سنگینی  تمام ایستگاه قطار را با خود جابه جا کند، شاید مثل سربازی باشد که خشم و خشابش را با هم خالی کرده و در خلاءای معصومانه به روز تولدش فکر می کند، یا همچون فاتحی مغرور چنان استوار و مطمئن است که در پوست خودش نمی گنجد و میل مبهمی دارد که از خودش خالی شود و یک تهی بزرگ به جا بگذارد.

همه چیز از این تصویر لغزنده شروع شد که هر لحظه به شکلی در می امد تا در یک پیچیدگی پوچ مثل لایه های پیاز -خواسته یا ناخواسته- اشکت را دربیاورد و پشت لایه ای از اشک و اعوجاجی مضحک، فراتر از آن چیزی که هست به نظر برسد. اما  سر و دستها بیش از همه چیز بیانگرند، حتی در پنهان کردنشان هم نوعی خود افشاگری پیداست، اما این تصویر، تصور من است چیزی میان وهم و واقعیت. "من در درون تو خواهم بود نه چیزی بیشتر از یک سنگریزه"

مریم کوهستانی

Maybe everything began from Samuel Beckett’s "Delusions", from the imperceptible weight of the head and hands standing up, from protuberant elbows, closed eyes, a very serious visage who pretends to be listening; his gaze muted, his complexion covert. So pensive he is that it seems he has spent years in contemplation and quietude or is a traveler who wishes to bear the burden of the whole train station. Maybe he is like a soldier who has fired all the bullets in his clip and vented his anger simultaneously and now is, innocently, thinking in a vacuum of his birthday. Or maybe he is so confident and unyielding like a proud, victorious and ecstatic conqueror and wishes enigmatically to get rid of himself and leave a vast void behind him.

Everything started from this slick picture who took a different shape each second to set you on tears―voluntarily or involuntarily― in an absurd labyrinth like that of onion layers to appear beyond what it really is from behind these misty eyes and ridiculous fuzziness. But the head and the hands are more telling than anything else. There’s an obvious self-revelation even in their veiling. But this picture is my picture, something between hallucination and reality.

“I will be inside you, smaller than a pebble.”

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.
