FORGIVE ME, DISTANT WARS, FOR BRINGING FLOWERS HOME: OGR - Officine Grandi Riparazioni, Torino

OGR - Officine Grandi Riparazioni, Torino 12 - 30 July 2018 

"Forgive me, distant wars, for bringing flowers home", presented at OGR - Officine Grandi Riparazioni in Turin, aims to unveil the artistic practice of Ramin HaerizadehRokni Haerizadeh, and Hesam Rahmanian by focusing on their methodology, communication, and construction of their works. Over the past few decades, Ramin, Rokni, and Hesam have shared a life philosophy that has allowed for mutual creation, during which their individual practices interact with their collaborative ones and which is informed by the understanding and technical skills of other people. From the dialogues they build among themselves and with other artists, friends, and collaborators—including stage director Joan Baixas, robotic engineer John Cole, community artist Niyaz Azadikhah, and writer and film producer Mandana Mohit—these artists have established a personal language that has enabled them to present different layers of content and texture in their work.
