CONTEMPORARY IRANIAN ART:
MODERNITY AND THE IRANIAN ARTIST
11th and 12th July at Kellogg College, Oxford University
During recent years, attempts at connections with the international art scene, which have been paralleled by political and cultural changes within the country, have resulted in various exhibitions of works of Iranian artists outside Iran. However, there is no sign of any critical academic discussion or theorising. This conference will be the first that tries to examine the concept of modern Iranian art within an academic framework, and to assess its current nature in the broader context of contemporary art. It will provide an opportunity to bring together scholars and art historians both from Iran and elsewhere in order to discuss the existing varieties and transformations of contemporary Iranian art practice. It seeks to contribute to the understanding of the developmental nature of contemporary Iranian visual arts. It will discuss artistic strategies and artistic production within the context of Iran as well as of Iranian artists in the diaspora.
