Display of calligraphy fractures in “Size Discourse” exhibition
The opening ceremony of Niloufar Zolfaghari’s “Size Discourse” calligraphy exhibition was held in the presence of Gholamreza Sepehri, President of the Tehran Calligraphers Association, and prominent professors on Thursday evening, March 26, 2009 at the Saadabad Historical and Cultural Complex.
At the beginning of the ceremony, Vahid Rahmati, the head of Saadabad Cultural and Historical Complex, mentioned the holding of various exhibitions, galleries and events as a feature of the difference between museum management and said: “How much better it would be for artists to hold such events.”
He expressed hope that such events would continue.
“In the world of art and literature, we humans have no support other than ourselves,” said Mustafa Mehr Ain, a sociologist and faculty member at the Institute of Humanities and Cultural Studies in praise of art and literature. “Literature and art are the place of human recording in the general sense.”
“Hannah Arendt believes that art is a world of multiplicity and understanding of human complexity, and that only artists can show the disconnect between human beings,” he added.
Mehraein called the work of art the home of man and said, “Man of knowledge and language feels the multiplicity of the universe within himself because he loves humanity.”
This university professor considered artists such as Niloufar Zolfaghari as one of those who record human beings for their permanence in history with their art.
Gholamreza Sepehri described the exhibition as a new movement in the art of calligraphy, adding: “The art community is always dynamic, and I congratulate Ms. Zolfaghari, who started her career from the dust and created such fractures.”
The head of the Tehran Calligraphers Association ended his speech with this Saadi verse:
Hamid Hamidi Faculty member of Shiraz University
He considered the selection of the fracture as a new discourse in calligraphy and added: “Creativity, innovation and narration along with research work have led to the creation of these special works. “These works are the result of the artist’s interest in both practical and research work, and our calligraphy needs research.”
He also considered the entry of researchers into the category of visual arts to be effective in creating deconstructive works.
Niloufar Zolfaghari thanked all the professors and motivators who helped him from the beginning of his journey, adding: Was.”
In the end, he thanked the support of Saadabad Cultural and Historical Complex for holding this exhibition.
