Address: #3 | South Pesyan Street | Valiasr Street | Tehran

On January 14th, 1971, the Shahyad Aryamehr Building opens to the public. On January 15th, 2010, the Iranian art community mourns the passing of Bahman Jalali and on January 16th, 1978, Mohammad-Reza Shah Pahlavi, leaves Iran never to return again. That which connects these three consecutive dates over three decades of Iran's tumultuous history, is a photograph made by Bahman Jalali on a date thirty-one years less one day day after which he passed away. I saw Bahman Jalali only once thriteen years ago. He generously gave me his unseen photographs of the Imposed War to be used in my project titled "The Exhibition of Photographs of a Possible War" held at 13 Vanak Gallery. Now that thriteen years have passed since my last exhibition at 13 Vanak Gallery, the memory of Bahman Jalali is still alive in my mind as is the possibility of "A Possible War".
