The Journey to Mazandaran
curated by David Galloway
25.04.2017 – 27.05.2017 | Düsseldorf
Beck & Eggeling International Fine Art presents The Journey to Mazandaran, an exhibition curated by David Galloway. The exceptional
concept shows traditional weaving art from Mazandaran – gelims by Teppichkunst Hirschberg – along with works by the contemporary artists
Milan Mölzer, Lucie Beppler and Toulu Hassani.
Galloway illustrates a universal language that emerges across time, cultural
divides and mediums. For all the differences between the exhibited works of
art, they demonstrate profound affinities in the structuring of the picture plane and the use of unconventional tools and materials. Many of their rhythmic compositions suggest musical scores, where point and counterpoint underlie compositions at once reductionist and lyrically inflected.
The Journey to Mazandaran initiates a dialogue between weavings produced by anonymous Iranian authors and works by the three artists who in turn represent three generations and three distinct cultures.
David Galloway is Professor Emeritus at the Ruhr University Bochum. In
1977-1978 he served as Chief Curator of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary
Art. He has curated exhibitions for the Ludwig Forum (Aachen), the Venice
Biennial, the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, the Cologne Fine Art and
Antiques Fair and the Saatchi Gallery (London).
