Press release
+2‭ ‬announces‭ ‬“Kanoon‭,‬”‭ ‬a solo exhibition by Sahand Hesamiyan‭. ‬The exhibition opens on Friday‭, ‬January 24‭, ‬2025‭, ‬and will be on view until February 14‭,‬‭ ‬2025‭. ‬Hesamiyan’s works have been shown several times at Dastan‭, ‬marking this as his fifth solo presentation with the gallery‭. ‬Past solo exhibitions include‭ ‬“Far Side”‭ ‬at Emrooz Gallery‭, ‬Isfahan‭ (‬2022‭) ‬as part of Dastan‭: ‬Outside Projects‭, ‬a solo presentation at Contemporary Istanbul‭ (‬2017‭), ‬as‭ ‬well as‭ ‬“Tavizeh”‭ ‬at Dastan’s Basement‭ (‬2015‭) ‬and‭ ‬“Frame of Reference”‭ ‬at Sam Art‭ (‬2015‭), ‬both curated by Fereydoun Ave‭. ‬Additionally‭, ‬his works were recently featured in group presentations at Frieze London‭, ‬Art Dubai‭, ‬and Editions Dubai in 2024‭.‬
Sahand Hesamiyan’s‭ ‬“Kanoon”‭ ‬draws on the architectural‭, ‬historical‭, ‬and cultural significance of the minaret in Iran and the region‭, ‬reinterpreting this iconic structure within a contemporary context‭. ‬Rather than focusing solely on the formal aspects of the monument‭, ‬Hesamiyan delves into its conceptual essence and symbolic dimensions‭. ‬Beyond their functional and guiding role in directing caravans‭, ‬minarets‭ ‬have historically acted as symbols of political power and regional identity‭. ‬Moving beyond the architectural boundaries of the minaret‭, ‬“Kanoon”‭ ‬seeks to establish a new connection between history‭, ‬power‭, ‬and identity within a contemporary context‭.‬
Sahand Hesamiyan‭ (‬b‭. ‬1977‭, ‬Tehran‭, ‬Iran‭) ‬is a Tehran-based sculptor‭. ‬He holds a B.A‭. ‬in Sculpture from the University of Tehran‭.‬
Hesamiyan’s practice explores contemporary sculptural directions inspired by Islamic and Iranian architectural heritage‭. ‬Linking science and geometry to the abstract nature of spirituality‭, ‬his work also aims to create an interactive relationship with the viewer‭. ‬Reflection and repetition are central to his aesthetic language‭, ‬yet his sculptures transcend formal qualities to evoke profound conceptual interpretations‭.‬
His works have been featured in numerous solo exhibitions and international group shows‭. ‬His sculptures are installed in public‭ ‬spaces across various countries‭, ‬including Japan‭, ‬the UAE‭, ‬Taiwan‭, ‬and his hometown of Iran‭. ‬His works are part of prestigious private and public collections‭, ‬such as the Victoria and Albert Museum‭, ‬Delfina Entrecanales Collection‭, ‬The Samawi Collection‭, ‬Mohammad Afkhami Collection‭, ‬and Luciano Benetton Collection‭.(‬2015‭), ‬both curated by Fereydoun Ave‭. ‬Additionally‭, ‬his works were‭ ‬recently featured in group presentations at Frieze London‭, ‬Art Dubai‭, ‬and Editions Dubai in 2024‭.‬
