BAVAN GALLERY
Tehran, Iran
Bavan Gallery
Bavan Gallery in its 1st participation in VOLTA Basel is pleased to present three Iranian artists who have worked consistently in creating their own discourses regarding their propensities to form and shape, together with their attitudes in social and ontological terms.
Our curatorial team aim to create an eclectic context by combining three individual approaches in reflecting matters of Iranian life and current situations. Therefore, we believe that our booth is an abstract representation of subjects that are routine challenges of Iranian individuals such as politics, hybrid culture, gender, immigration, and cultural gaps.
Our main concept is to make a dynamic context that conveys diverse. The artists presented at the fair are: Elham Etemadi, Keiman Mahabadi, and Payam Qelichy.
