Organized by Aram Moshayedi, the exhibition brings together proposals, instructions, and written correspondences sent by artists currently living and working in Iran.
Initiated in March 2026, during a period of heightened uncertainty and limited communication, the project considers how artistic work can travel and take form across distance and constraint. The works were realized by artists acting as proxies for those unable to execute them directly.
Dastan is very pleased to have contributed to bringing this project together and to see it now realized at The Brick.
With invaluable consultation from Tala Madani, Negar Azimi, Hormoz Hematian, Minoo Emadi, Niloufar Emamifar, Sina Ghadaksaz, Sheida Ghomashchi, Ali Hassanzadeh, Yasaman Aeini, Nazafarin Lotfi, Azar Mahmoudian, Mahan Moalemi, Shabahang Tayyari, Ashkan Zahraei, and Tirdad Zolghadr.
