:statement
This exhibition seeks to address the matters which concern all of us, as we negotiate the contemporary world around us. It brings together distinct genres of art, exploring a collective of themes. It aims to engage discussions across boundaries, whether these are disciplinary, geographic, cultural, social or economic. Individual differences are apparent between artists. These series differ from one to another materially in scope and point of view, but in one respect they come together and want to exchange their opinions. In this exhibition, artists participate from two different generations and different places of life, but they all have roots in a single nationality. At this juncture artists share their experiences, which have taken quite different paths. A place to exchange ideas in different layers. Although artists come from Iranian culture, they are in their way recognizing other cultures. Some of the artists live in other countries such as Austria and Sri Lanka and try to present their point of views at this exhibition. The rich culture of Sri Lanka is a perfect base for the intersection of these paths. We hope that somehow this event, will contribute to a better understanding of the different cultures experiencing this exhibition.
