Mahmoud Khan's Trees at PSA Museum

The group show "Trees" is being held at the PSA Museum in Shanghai from July 8   to October 31, 2021. Organized in collaboration with the PSA museum and the Cartier Foundation of Contemporary Art (Fondation Cartier pour l'art Contemporain), the show features about 200 artworks from 30 Chinese, Indian, Iranian, European, and Latin American artists.

In this show, trees are praised as the primary sources of aesthetic inspiration for human societies, showing the latest scientific achievements about their intelligence. These scientific and artistic testimonies are shown through different media such as painting, photography, film, and installation. The "Trees" show seeks to reveal the trees' beauty and their biological richness, which is threatened by widespread deforestation nowadays.

Mahmoud Khan's works have been exhibited in this show as an Iranian artist. Born in 1947 in Rasht, his very first show was in the first edition of the   Outsider Art Annual. To this day, he has participated in numerous exhibitions, biennials, and art fairs both in Iran and abroad.
