Alternative Iran: Contemporary Art and Critical Spatial Practice Karimi Pamela
Alternative Iran offers a unique contribution to the field of contemporary art, investigating how Iranian artists engage with space and site amid the pressures of the art market and the state's regulatory regimes. Instead, these art forms appear in private homes with trusted audiences, derelict buildings, leftover urban zones, and remote natural sites. Since the 1980s, political, economic, and intellectual forces have driven Iran's creative class toward increasingly original forms of artmaking not meant for official venues.
Attending to While many of these venues operate independently, others are fully sanctioned by the state.Drawing on interviews with over a hundred artists, gallerists, theater experts, musicians, and designers, Pamela Karimi throws into sharp relief the extraordinary art and performance activities that have received little attention outside Iran.
