| Exhibition Statement: | |
How do we as humans deal with the displacement, culture shock and denial we feel as a result of immigration? Historically this region has suffered or experienced events, which have led to its people immigrating. This immigration and in some cases, re-immigration, has serious and long-term effects and consequences on the lives of people. They are forced – for various reasons such as war, natural disasters and unsafe domestic conditions – to leave behind their homeland and loved ones for better and safer living conditions in another region or country. In some cases, people still inhabit the same location yet drastic changes within that place can cause a sense of alienation. Some people leave their home for temporary reasons yet upon their return or re-immigration find that they can no longer call that place home and have adapted to their new surroundings. "Neither Here, Nor There" brings together the work of six Iranian artists whom each express the above mentioned psychological and emotional reactions to the environment within which their subjects have suddenly found themselves. Artists exhibiting in this show are Rosita Sharafjahan, Peyman Hooshmandzadeh, Nima Alizadeh, Shantia Zakerameli, Adel Younesi and Afshin Chizari. The show will continue through May 19, 2011.

NPR Funding Targeted: House Votes To Defund National Public Radio
WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday voted to end federal funding to National Public Radio.

FA Gallery: Body Language in the eyes of Iranian artists
FA Gallery's Group Exhibition of Iranian artists : Iman Safaei, Katayoun Karami, Mohamad Mehdi Tabatabaie, Samira Eskandarfar, Shima Esfandiary, Jahed Sarboland.
The Opening is 7th of March at 7:30 PM
Body Language
The first and oldest forms of artwork in existence are figurative or representational works in the form of cave paintings. Throughout history, figurative works have been created to form associations between viewers and the artists’ vision of society and religion.
The six Iranian artists in Body Language have also tried to focus on the current conditions in their society and the region at large.
Samira Eskandarfar, Iman Safaei and Katayoun Karami challenge the traditional gender roles enforced in an Islamic society. Eskandarfar’s Numbered Beauties are portraits of finely groomed men.
The inclusion of a rose in each work as the most common symbol of love, depicts a softer and more romantic side of the Middle Eastern male while Safaei’s soldiers and pahlevans or athletes, recall a tougher side. Katayoun Karami’s double self portraits depict her on one side and a style of hair – the physical attribute every Muslim woman is required to conceal – on the other.

Shima Esfandiari and Mojtaba Tabatabaee depict illnesses, both physical and emotional. Esfandiari’s female forms in various positions – under a blanket, slumped over or on hands and knees – all hint at a level of discomfort and pain and suffering. Tabatabaee’s large canvases or human forms in grey tonalities are lit using small red lights along curved lines resembling scars.

Jahed Sarboland’s German Expressionistic inspired works focus on the current political conditions in society. Faces commonly associated with the behind-the-desk characters of a bureaucratic system peer out of these brightly colored canvases in an impersonal and distant gaze.

Body Language is the reply of socially committed artists living in a post-revolutionary society struggling to live by the standards of that revolution. The desperation to fulfill their desire for a more open and modern society is clearly visible in the works of these six artists.

The Exhibition will continue till 24th of March, 2011
