Film by Eric Minh Swenson.
ADVOCARTSY presents the second installation of a multi-artist show entitled ART BRIEF II: IRANIAN CONTEMPORARY NORTH AMERICA. This exhibition is co-curated by ADVOCARTYS founder and principal, Roshi Rahnama and Dr. Talinn Grigor, author of Contemporary Art of Iran: from the Street to the Studio and Professor of Art History at the University of California, ART BRIEF II: IRANIAN CONTEMPORARY NORTH AMERICA seeks to explore the diverse ways in which artists of Iranian background and based in North America have addressed the separation from their homeland. The works exhibited speak to the various artistic reactions and reflections to the realities of identity formation in diaspora, the pain and joy of exile, the call of nostalgia,
and the fragmentation of the self.
The ART BRIEF series provide a concentrated opportunity to introduce local artists of Iranian heritage to the Iranian community of the region – the largest such community outside Iran itself – and equally to the art community of Los Angeles, and beyond. It is designed to build community and to build bridges between communities, but also to demonstrate the breadth of expression and meaning characterizing the art of Iranian-American artists.
