A guided tour and panel discussion will give art lovers a great insight into the acclaimed ‘Iran Inside Out’ exhibition which will have a three-month stay at The Farjam Collection @DIFC.
Around 40 artworks will be exhibited, including paintings, sculptures and works in mixed media, as well as photography from 29 contemporary artists, challenging the conventional perceptions of Iran and Iranian art.
It is the first appearance of the exhibition outside America, following a successful run at the Chelsea Art Museum in New York City and the DePaul University Museum in Chicago.
A guided tour will be held in the gallery this Wednesday at 11am while a panel discussion on the topic of Iranian contemporary artistic expression and art patronage will be held on Friday from 11am.The discussion is expected to run for 90 minutes.
Emilie Faure, Collections and Exhibitions Manager of The Farjam Collection, explains: “These works draw upon a common Iranian heritage and identity, and also speak of universal and contemporary concerns.
“The responsibility of artists is the same, regardless of their country of origin: to cultivate imaginations and infuse in the viewer a sense that everything is possible.”
