VICTOR GALLERY HOSTS OPENING NIGHT FOR ARTIST FIROUZ FARMANFARMAIN

 

Firouz FarmanFarmaian

Victor Gallery hosted the opening night for the exiting new art exhibition "Patterns of Passage / Caravans of Tapestries," featuring the works of artist Firouz FarmanFarmaian curated by We R The Nomads.

Showing for one month only in New York before travelling onto Washington DC in April, this exhibition delves into the post-tribal quality of the textile units, exploring themes of nomadic displacement and the intricate memories encapsulated within the artworks. By expanding on textile units from the recent exhibition in Tribeca and including past abstract paintings, the show invites viewers to reflect on the narratives of movement, cultural identity, and the profound connections we share through art.

About Firouz FarmanFarmaian:

Firouz FarmanFarmaian (born in 1973 Tehran, Iran) is an artist, composer, film director, and cultural producer. He is a descendant of the Qajar dynasty, a Turkic tribe that rose to power in present-day Iran in the late 1700s. Exiled since the 1979 Iranian-Islamic Revolution, he is French-Swedish by nationality and considers himself stateless. FarmanFarmaian is strongly moved by history and memory, and abstracts these into nomadic visual culture and the “post-tribal” — a way of rehabilitating tribal tradition and worldview back into contemporary discourse. His work often sources from, is inspired by, and produced in collaboration with tribal craftsmen, solid substrata to his painting, textile, film, music and technology creative output.
