Pile of Pollution

Another Festival in Iran this time in Kotena village

Photos by Shahrnaz Zarkesh

We were impressed by too many rubbish stocked in the river.By the time we got there it made us to create another version of "Pile of Pollution"
We decided to ask people to collect their garbage to make a sculpture out of rubbish
We wanted to point out the pollution in this area. Garages were saving for two days.
Hoping that this installation could give people to pay attention to their polluted area

Seventy Thousand Curtains

Seventy Thousand Curtains Collaborative Work by new Art Group

In ascension to heaven, in infinite space, prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) finds seventy thousand curtains made up of light, rubies, ringlets, pearls and gold. Each one of curtains are guarded by seven sets of angle like creatures

Prophet goes through these seventy thousand curtains accompanied by guidance angles and finds up heaven ornamented by scarlet ringlets (Book of Ascension by Mary Rose Segay

When he arrived in seventh sky, he saw veils of light, in the brightness world of which reached the climax of intuition and closeness to God (reverence for God). (Tafsir Nemoneh by Naser Makarem Shirazi, Volume twenty two

Beautiful landscapes and colorful hills of Hormoz Island depicts and image of paradise. New Art Group performed a scene from Book of Ascention related to Herat era by cooperation of Hormoz Ministry of Education and Guidance with seventy girls students of Hajar Secondary School

Girls wore nice costumes and kept their colored veils(Chadoor) in front of their face as a sign of curtain in each performance. Each of them was angles behind curtains

Seventy Thousand Curtains

Regarding the short time we had for this performance, coordination with heads of school was required, that we were not deprived of. We are grateful to them. Atefeh, Shahrnaz ,Tara, Mahmood, Saman Lotfian and Atefeh Motehayer Arani made efforts together to work out

play with Fire

We arranged a musical performance with twenty Atash Gardan ( a device for rotating fiery coal) prepared by the assistance of presents artists and Mr. Darya Peima (familiar with music and performance).

Salt Lake

2010-01-03T01:09:00.000-08:00

Salt Lake

24th Environmental Art Festival was held in Tabriz and Oromieh cities in September 2010 so that artists could display their newest works along Salt Lake. Two first days of the festival were for work in the shore of Oromieh Lake and the last day for the meeting of participant artists and local artists of Oromieh and Tabriz in the city of Tabriz. An extensive area of the lake has been dried, that’s why you need to walk some kilometers on a dry bed cracked like desert to reach water.

Work 3549

Work 3549 is one of our symbolic group presentation done in Oromieh Lake. Destruction of environment and inattention to this issue like any other disorder dominant every part of the country had caused Oromieh big lake, perhaps the most important natural attraction of Oromieh, to dry. It could be understood from dullness of homes and other places of “Chi Chest”. 3549 was a symbol of this drought. We took 3549 steps from residence to water; a social movement not only related to the drought of a piece of land also to its cultural and social consequences of it. These steps show our distance from nature, a distance from drought to the still-alive lake

Several days in Mashalak

2009-11-10T00:39:00.000-08:00

One of the important features of our group is trips to the various cities of Iran and also trend to the nature and this affair is clearly observable in all the members of our group.
The nature and different trips include lots of effects on our aim or individual work and ingeneral our group works have been created as a selection in various places.
Our trip to Noshahr and Mashalak jungle was done for the second time after Noshahr 16th festival and it was one of the most useful trips to Noshahr , because we went there during two regular weeks and did lots of things in the beautiful places.
Our first mission in the first week "Green Carpet" that was done in a very pleasant weather and I can honestly say it had a special atmosphere.

"Green Carpet"

But the second trip to Noshahr started by individual works that you can observe some pictures about it and all of us were performing new works or something related to the previous works.The second day was appropriated to do some things related to "Green Carpet" and we could make a new carpet by dried wood in the jungle.

"A Carpet of broken Branches"

"My freedom is inside me" is the title of a collection which is being done while this project was done at this jungle by barbed wire last year for the first time.

My freedom Is inside me By mahmoud maktabi

This work is included in the same collection of earth stars but the choice of vague condition for this picture is done by Rahele Zomorrodinia.

"Wig" is one of the other continues project that Atefeh Khas performed it in the different places.But , this performance was so nice and impressive in this trip to Mashalak , in this year.

Wig By Atefeh Khas

"Another Roof" was worked by Tara goodarzi and Atefeh Khas with less lines and with a geometric shap. These project has different performance in different places but the feeling of it in that green environment made a kind of suspense and opposition of red color with surround environment made this feeling more.

Another Roof By Tara & Atefeh

Tara's works were like her other works in these recently festivals and they have more respect of performing in the nature and on the other hand , we can say that she is seeking her relation with nature and element of it , like lots of other artist.

The "Presence" is a project by Rahele Zomorrodinia .It has been performed in different places.This work shows "Presence" of this artist , On the other hand, this presence is registered in these places. Because of it , it's so close to photography and her professional career.

Scarlet Cypress

2009-10-31T00:43:00.000-07:00

Scarlet Cypress

Scarlet Cypress is one of the works on the last Wednesday before Nowrooz (Charshanbe Soori). On which we were unanimous and performed it in the limited time we had.

Fire as a symbol of warmth, light, purity and also one of four elements of nature has been special for us, used in different Iranian ceremonies and celebrations. Our work is on the basis of meaningful similarity between fire and cypress. Cypress is also one of Iranian beautiful symbolic forms. Although not much appealed to us, it came to a simplicity (a simplicity existent in the form of cypress and fire).Nearness of these two symbols probably for the ancient symbolism of cypress in our culture like fire, a symbol of freedom and enlightenment and ever-green tree. Performed by Tara Goodarzi , Rahele Zomorrodinia, Mahmood Maktabi, Ehsan Ratebi and Shahrnaz Zarkesh near Dizin ski site.
