زمانزاد؛ نسخهی نخست:
تراکم معلق
زمانزاد پروژهی بلند مدت من است که در آن به تبادل ذهنی و عینی پرداختهام. یعنی در مرحله ی نخست تلاش کردهام موضوع زمان به معنای علمی آن را در هنر باز تعریف کنم. در نتیجه نمادها و نشانههای انتزاعی متعدد با معنایی مشخص به وجود آمدهاند.
در مرحلهی بعد روی بخشی از این نمادها تمرکز کردهام و مجموعهی حاضر نتیجهی تمرکز روی آن بخش از زمان است که انسان تجربهاش میکند. موقعیت انسان دربرابر زمان موقعیت متراکمی ست. یعنی ما زاده میشویم، در زمان محدودی زیست میکنیم و بعد از دنیا به در میشویم. اگر بخواهم به عنوانِ یک نقاش از این موقعیت متراکم و فشرده تعریفی تصویری دهم، بهترین فرم، شکلِ بینظیرِ دایره است. دایره دقیق همان محیطی ست که انسان در آن معلق است. دایره نماد درست زمان است. دایره نشانهای ست از چرخش و تبدیل، شکلی همیشه در حرکت و قابل تغییر وتبدیل به فرمهای گوناگون. از این جهت است که موقعیت متراکم انسان را موقعیتی «معلق» و همیشه در حال تغییر میدانم.
تراکمِ معلق در نهایت خوانشی نقاشانه از کل زیست آدمی ست و موقعیتش راجع به زمان. همچنین نور، سطوحِگاه سیاه و ذراتِ مشتبه به فرمهای ارگانیک طبیعت در این تغییر با ما شریکند. بنابراین برای بهتر بیان کردن محیط پیرامونم، از بافتهای گوناگون که در طبیعت وجود دارد و از لایههای مختلف حجم رنگ به گونهای اغراقآمیز (فقط با دو تُن سیاه و سفید و تنالیتههای بین این دو) استفاده کردهام. مشخص نیست «تراکم معلق» درون من تا کی ادامه مییابد اما در نمایشگاههای بعدی، «زمانزاد» را بسط و گسترش خواهم داد و در نسخههای بعدی سعی خواهم کرد به زوایای دیگر این معنای عمیق و پیچیده بپردازم.

Zamanzad: First Edition
Suspended Intensity
"Zamanzad" is the title of my long term project in which I have been dealing with subjective and
objective exchanges. In the _rst stage, I have tried to re-de_ne the concept of “time” in arts, from
my own point of view. Consequently, I came up with creating several abstract symbols and
marks, with a distinct meaning.
In the next stage, I have concentrated on some of these symbols, and the present collection is
the result of focusing on that portion of “time” which the human beings can experience. The
situation of man against “time” is an intense condition. Meaning we are born, live for a limited time
and then leave this world. As a painter, if I want to give a visual de_nition of this intense situation,
it would resemble the unique form of a circle. A circle is exactly the environment in which man is
suspended. Circle is the appropriate symbol for time. Circle is a symbol of circulation and
transformation…, it is a form which is always on the move and has the ability to be modi_ed to a
variety of other shapes. That is why I consider human beings’ intense situation as “suspended”
and constantly changing.
Eventually, “Suspended Intensity” is my own perception from a human being’s existence and his
position versus “time”. Lighting, black surfaces and particles resembling natural organic forms,
share this change with us. Therefore, in order to give a better description of my environment, I
have used various textures in nature, and exaggerated layers of paint (only black and white and
the tonalities in between these two colors). I do not know how long “Suspended Intensity” will
continue to live in me, but I will develop and extend Zamanzad in my future works and will try to
deal with other aspects of this complicated and profound de_nition.

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.
