黑料不打烊

鈥淲hat made me to think about curating this exhibition was looking for people who have the closest relationship in some way to the way that I have passed through my career. I thought of all who have been my classmates when I was at the University of Tehran. We all had to take a very hard and competitive exam to get into the university to study around what we all were in love 鈥渃reating visual artworks.鈥� A group of about 20 students could get to the University of Tehran after taking a two-steps supper competitive exam to study painting as classmates. Each of us had a background in art and took the same exact classes and education for about four years. We all graduated and continued to keep making artworks. The four years of education was like a tunnel we all passed together and were served with same material as skills. The professors we all met and learned from may at least have an unconscious impact on all of us. The friendship we made together, the ideas we shared together, seeing the world from each other points of views and reading and learning skills in visual arts all together gifted us a package of 鈥渁rtistic impact鈥� each of us may carry in some way in our art career.  

I found it interesting to reunion all of these incredible friends together for the matter of a group exhibition and look for the footprint of that 鈥渁rtistic impact鈥� in our works after about 10 years. 鈥� 鈥�Bahareh Safarani
