نمایشگاه حاضر ترکیبی از سه جهان متفاوت از سه گروه از هنرمندان ایرانی، انگلیسی و لیتوانی است که با انتخاب ادوارد لوسی اسمیت گردآوری شده است. هنرمندان متعددی از این سه کشور در این نمایشگاه حضور دارند که سعی میکنم در پست‌های بعد نام این هنرمندان را برای جستجوی آثار متفاوت‌شان روی وب بیاورم. برای خواندن متن کامل مقدمه آقای لوسی اسمیت بر این نمایشگاه به ادامه مطلب مراجعه کنید.

 

The aim of this exhibition is to give a snapshot view of two very different contemporary art worlds – the one that now exists in London, and the one that has grown up in Iran in the years since the fall of the Shah in 1979. London is now undoubtedly one of the world capitals of contemporary art, rivaled in this respect only by Berlin, since both Paris and New York seem to be losing their attraction as centers for young artists. It owes its pre-eminence to the rise of what are now called the YBAs (Young British Artists) in the 1990s. However the YBA group are not so young any more – they are in their mid 40s – and several generations of artists have made their appearance in London since then. My concept here has been to show a few selected artists on a larger scale, and many more in a section entitled Polemically Small. Polemically Small stresses two things – first the strong revival of painting and collage in London, and second the return to small, sometimes miniature scale, which is a revolt against the inflated rhetoric that seems to have overtaken so much contemporary art.
