SUMMARY:Of Quicksilver And Dust : Postcards From The Edge Of The Middle East
DESCRIPTION:Photography is frozen music. There is a lyrical aspect present in certain images\, & nowhere is this more visible than in scenes of desert landscapes. From repetitive patterns of interminable ridges\, to the honeycomb & fractal designs in windswept salt flats\, a mellifluous symphony is on full display. \nElements like lines\, shapes\, & textures interact\, leading the viewer’s eyes through nature’s quiet concert\, creating a sense of harmony or dissonance\, much like musical notes & chords. \nThe deserts in Iran\, or ‘kavir’ as they’re called in Persian\, aren’t one thing. They are landscapes of constant motion\, of shape shifting sands & mirages. They are the territories of camel caravans & ancient villages\, crisscrossed by trade routes & dotted by caravanserai. They are home to people for whom traditional ways of life continue as they have for centuries\, despite the changing borders & migratory dunes of these unique ecosystems. \nDespite being places of great stillness\, deserts are alive & in perpetual flux. When broken down to their smallest components\, they are all comprised of similar grains of sand. However each kavir is a diverse space\, some a no man’s land of endless horizons\, & others punctuated by colorful bursts of life from desert dwellers\, both human & animal. From August 2024 through February 2025\, I explored various such regions & some surrounding settlements. With this collection of snapshots\, I invite you to come along & see the songs of the sands through my eyes. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Dual Exhibitions: No Friends but the Mountains / Restless Anahita
DESCRIPTION:Join us from July 10th thru August 5th for these dual exhibitions showcasing the photographic storytelling of Sia Yazdanfar. NO FRIENDS BUT THE MOUNTAINS & RESTLESS ANAHITA are continuing bodies of work\, each documenting aspects of traditional worlds in the Middle East. \nAfter the enthusiastic reception of the exhibitions at other venues\, we are thrilled to announce these dates at the ArtsCenter.\nThe collections of images will be on display in two galleries: Theater Gallery and the Sweet Bay Gallery. \nPer Sia Yazdanfar: \nNO FRIENDS BUT THE MOUNTAINS provides a glimpse into the daily lives of Kurdish people in the namesake mountainous Kurdistan Province\, where untamed landscapes are dotted by stepped villages\, home to a unique culture\, heritage\, & language that has been preserved for centuries. These images are the result of long-term photographic expeditions in 2023. \nRESTLESS ANAHITA is a kaleidoscopic journey through the fabric of female clothing in remote corners of Iran. The photographs are a variegated\, parti-colored passage through the rainbow of traditional garb in my motherland. Highlighting garments from the northwest mountains of Gilan\, to the sun-kissed islands of south-central Hormozgan\, these images pay homage to our mothers\, sisters\, and daughters. \nArtist reception: Friday\, July 12th\, from 6-8:30 PM\, featuring a special performance of Iranian & Sufi music by Sayeh Ensemble. \n\n\n	Related

Yet silence itself can still send a loud and clear message. It is this concept that Wan has chosen to depict through hundreds of rusted bells that have been coated with wax so that they no longer make any sound. This simple yet evocative image allows the artist to express the sensation of hidden voices that have been forced into silence but retain a pure inner presence that echoes through the silent bells. Wan conveys this concept of a silent force both visually and through dance on opening night\, April 10\, 5:50-6:10pm. \nThis will be a first time collaboration with the young Taiwanese choreographer\, Pin-Han Lin\, who will work with two dancers\, Emilie Raleigh and Megan Ross\, to create a dance piece to address the idea of silent tears responding to the violence\, sacrifice and compromise existing in our prejudiced and unequal society. They hope\, through this collaboration\, to raise awareness for those whose voices remain silenced. \nWan-Bio \nFor more than two decades\, Jan-Ru Wan has been re-using found objects\, especially those discarded from industrial factories\, in her sculpture and installation work\, re-inventing and elevating their original purpose. Her unique way of incorporating wildly diverse materials with layers of repetition and creating a space of awe is the signature of her installation works. \nThroughout Wan’s career\, she has participated in 30 solo exhibitions and 45 group exhibitions\, including the 1st International Biennial of Casablanca at the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Art in Taiwan; the Yango-Biennial in Kinshasa\, Congo and her solo exhibition at the Mint Museum in Charlotte NC\, April 2019. Her work has been featured in Surface Design Magazine and Sculpture Magazine. The National Art Education Association Anthology: Globalization\, Art\, and Education devoted an entire chapter on her work. In 2006\, The University of Wisconsin\, Milwaukee honored Wan with the GOLD award. Wan is also the recipient of North Carolina’s 2008 Visual Art Fellowship. Wan has also been awarded artist residencies in Taiwan\, Thailand\, Morocco\, Belgium\, the Netherlands\, and the United States. \nYou can find her work at: www.janruwan.com IG: #janruone1 \nLin-Bio \nLin earned her B.A. in Modern Dance with a concentration in Choreography from the University of Taipei in 2014. She has performed with a variety of groups in Taiwan\, Macao\, Qingdao\, Tokyo\, and within the United States as well as in commercial and music videos (ie. Jonathan Lee’s Hills 李宗盛《山丘》). In addition\, Lin has over 6 years of teaching dance to students of all ages at schools locally and abroad.You can find her work at: https://mshannalin.wixsite.com/website-1 \n\n\n	Related
