TEHRAN – A new gallery will open in Tehran tomorrow with a joint art performance entitled “Going to…” by Saba Najafi from Iran and Loredana Galante from Italy.
The gallery named Today Art Gallery has been established by Arezu Aqaii.
“Saba and Loredana have achieved an effect of fragility and power, and spiced it up with opulent femininity,” Italian critic Alessandra Radaelli wrote in an article, which has been published in Wall Street International Magazine.
“The installation is a range of fabric hanging from the ceiling in circular free form. The concept is inviting and welcomes the viewer into its embrace.
“The performance resembles a ritual where binding and opening the knots allows change, transformation, influence and ascendance.”
Moreover, painter and art critic Behnam Kamrani has also written a note about the exhibit.
“Saba Najafi has made use of different pieces of textiles with different patterns, while Loredana has made drawings on embroidered pieces of cotton.
“The two will begin their performances by tying and untying the knots in a ritual performance. Pieces of cotton and knots have always been the first companions of man. Clothes are the closest thing to the body and have always remained with man during life and death,” says part of the note written by Kamrani.
The exhibit will be running until April 26 at the gallery located at 19 Lashkarak Alley, Rudbar St. off Mirdamad Ave.
