GOLESTANI is pleased to announce a new exhibition, “A Feast of Friends”, which brings together selected positions with works by three Iranian-born artists who have emigrated to New York, and who now represent the Persian art and cultural diaspora in the United States. Despite the very different forms of work, their starting point is quite a common one: the examination of the Euro- and US-centric art canon as well as traditional motifs of the Persian cultural area in the digital age of globalization. In this way, the three artists combine different image motifs or design techniques, explore the interrelationship between analog and digital image forms in order to fathom and question the effectiveness of the archive as a cultural-historical source and expression of culture of remembrance as well as the authority to interpret digital information.
