伊朗当代艺术的广泛插图调查

“重新思考伊朗当代艺术”旨在阐明近期伊朗艺术的另一种叙事方式，与西欧和北美展览或收藏出版物中常见的流行肖像不同。它还避开了艺术界盛行的潮流设定方案，尤其是那些试图“定义”什么是“当代伊朗艺术”的人。它的主要目的是描绘伊朗的当代艺术，包括各种各样的文化表现形式，每一种文化表现都是一幅充满活力的马赛克，代表了这个国家多方面的现实——这些现实在出版物中经常被忽视。这本书强调了这种丰富性是如何在过去几十年里来自伊朗及其侨民的新兴艺术家的作品中得到生动的表达的。同样的标准也适用于书中描绘的早期艺术家。这些艺术家的作品，尽管在解决伊朗艺术以前未被探索的方面具有重要的优点，但很少在展览和出版物中展出。这本书包括三篇文章，旨在指出当代性多元性和历史背景的多种视角，为伊朗和散居者之间的当代艺术实践提供广泛的见解。第二部分收录了约400件艺术家的作品，并附有详细介绍他们的作品和书中描绘的作品的文字。这个部分分为三个不同的类别，“社会和文化共鸣”、“幻想愿景”和“历史的回声”，每个类别都侧重于特定的艺术方法。此外，这本书提供了艺术家的传记，一般参考书目和艺术家的索引。

An extensively illustrated survey of contemporary art in Iran

Rethinking the Contemporary Art of Iran seeks to articulate an alternative narrative of Iranian art in recent times, diverging from the prevalent portrayals often found in publications derived from exhibitions or collections in Western Europe and North America. It also steers away from the prevailing trend-setting schemes within the art world, particularly those attempting to “define” what qualifies as “contemporary Iranian art.” Its primary aim is to portray the contemporary art of Iran, embracing a diverse range of cultural expressions, each contributing to a vibrant mosaic that represents the multifaceted realities of the country―realities frequently overlooked in recent publications. The book highlights how this richness finds its most vivid expression in the works of emerging artists from both Iran and its diaspora over the past few decades. The same criteria apply to artists from earlier generations featured in the book. The selection is guided by a priority placed on those artists whose work, despite its significant merit in addressing previously unexplored facets of the art of Iran, has seldom been presented in recent exhibitions and publications. The book comprises three essays that aim to provide multiple perspectives on contemporaneity plurality and historical context, offering extensive insights into contemporary art practices both within Iran and among the diasporas. The second section encompasses about 400 works by artists, accompanied by texts elaborating on their oeuvre and the pieces depicted in the book. This section is organized into three distinct categories, “Societal and Cultural Resonance,” “Fantastical Visions” and “Echoes of History,” each focusing on a specific artistic approach. Furthermore, the book provides biographies of the artists, a general bibliography and an index of artists.
