Parallel Circuit, in collaboration with 8CUBE, is pleased to announce “EXPECTANT”, a group exhibition selected by Bita Fayyazi. This artistic event will be on view at 8CUBE from August 1 to September 12, 2025.
 
“Waiting is an active terrain where desires are negotiated, futures imagined, and identities forged,” says Bita Fayyazi, who developed and assembled "EXPECTANT". This exhibition “delves into the quiet, often overlooked domain where time lingers; where suspense and stillness shape our inner self.” Covering sculpture, painting, drawing, and photography, “EXPECTANT” brings together different materials and sensibilities to give shape to something deeply subjective and not readily tangible. Across these works, we see how time lingers, stretches, freezes, or moves in unexpected ways; how it carries weight, or sometimes floats.
 

"EXPECTANT" centers around the concepts of “waiting” and “anticipation”. The exhibition includes a wide range of pieces by established artists, emerging artists, and newcomers, including: Sasan Abri, Ahang Ahmadi, Sogol Azarshab, Peyman Barabadi, Mozhgan Bavaki, Ashkan Behjou, Raana Dehghan, Farbod Elkaei, Nargess Farahani, Nariman Farrokhi, Fariba, Sarah Gerami, Aisan Ghanbari, Shokoofeh Khorramroodi, Mona Kalahroudi, Afsaneh Modiramani, Haleh Motevalli, Milad Mousavi, Pouya Parsa Magham, Parham Pirooz, Afshin Sa’dipoor, Mohsen Shahmardi, Masoud Soheili Nezhad, Arya Tabandehpoor, The Treeo, Mehdi Vazirpour, Sepideh Zamani, and Hoda Zareei.


A daring artist herself, Bita Fayyazi's projects are collaborative by nature; as such, she often finds herself in the position of bringing the energies of the group towards "an uncertain  outcome".
