"There are certain sores in life that, like a canker, gnaw at the soul in solitude and diminish it. While the media constantly bombards us with news of tragic events, thanks to contemplation and meditation, daily life goes on i our homes. At the same time the likes of Farkhondeh and Asake never stay idle. They object and protest, and often become victims of ignorance of their fellow countrymen. We are accustomed to rejecting one another : seeing homeless people in the streets, watching underage girls coerced to marry, air strikes, acid violence, and saying farewell, we are used to all of those and yet the life still goes on.

Frightened and confused, i have been observing in the world for the past three years, irritated by my weaknesses to change it. Irish writer, Patrick McCabe in his best seller The Butcher Boy puts : " Dumb people must have black holes in their stomachs from not being able to cry out." However i think all humans have a black hole in their stomach. The current set called "chess pin" was born from one of those black holes. Initially inspired by chess, 9 characters including : king, soldier, executioner, buffoon, sentenced to death, intellectual, woman, anonymous and immigrant slowly evolved to their current identities; although, they are pinned in the chess board of their own lives."

Farzaneh Hosseini

Farzaneh Hosseini

Iran  • 1984

Farzaneh Hosseini was born in 1984 in Tehran, Iran. After receiving a diploma in Painting, her enthusiasm for drawing grew and she began to participate in a number of group and individual exhibitions while contributing to theoretical artistic topics. 

Hosseini became familiar with ‘Lino Print’ and later pursued this style more actively. In 2005 she studied Painting in Alzahra and later took part in Parviz Tanavoli’s classes during 2006. As a result of these, Hosseini exhibited in a group exhibition at Assar Art Gallery. Her Lino print works have also been exhibited at the Artist's Forum in Tehran. 

For four years Hosseini worked as an assistant to Parviz Tanavoli in his workshop in Niavaran. Being exposed to Tanavoli’s artworks and contributing to the creation of his sculptures was a special and unique experience which led her to choose sculpture as her primary activity.
