The Third Line presents works by Mahmoud Bakhshi, Shahab Fotouhi, Arash Hanaei, Mamali Shafahi and Vahid Sharifian that illustrate their individual responses towards how Iran’s politics and policies dominate the world’s perception of the country through a diverse selection of media.

This exhibition encased and inspired by globalisation and ambiguity, aims to identify the interaction between Iran and the US, Iranians in the US and Iranians in Iran. Through pop culture, socio-political references and a variety of media, I. U. [Heart] investigates the broader and more complex interactions between artists, history and identity.

Fathi’s new works balance colour and layers of text in an exploration of an illegible calligraphic language. Through her distinctly personalized style, she continues to demonstrate her dexterity using the simplicity of the line.

For her fourth solo exhibition at The Third Line and beginning the fall season, Fathi will present a selection of light boxes and works on paper. She began working with light boxes in 2007 while seeking an alternative to her previous works on canvas. This exhibition also sees her return to working on paper, a medium which offers a sense of vulnerability as the brushes stroke the surface of the blank page.
