Translations in Contemporary Iranian Art: Historicity, Marketability, Mobility
The contemporary Iranian art scene is young, dynamic, and multifaceted. This talk traces the role of contemporary Iranian art, its production, its institutions, and its politics, which are shaped by the methodological impossibilities of its social network: fragmented but tightly linked; endlessly becoming yet never complete; marketable yet ethical; neither here nor there; and impermanent but indisputably ancient. Through the three categories of historicity, marketability, and mobility, Talinn Grigor reconsiders the definitions of ‘contemporary’ and ‘art’ in its global context.
