By the way, some knowledge sharing: Don’t ever apply for PhD programs, have exams and accept projects at the same time. It will kill you!

Bad times for Iranian Artists

Parviz Tanavali is one of the most respected Iranian Artists and probably the last living legend in the rather empty hall of fame of Iranian Sculptors. A few Month ago one of his sculptures titled “ْGrowth” (رويش in Farsi) was removed from Iranian embassy’s front-yard in Paris and then destroyed. (News Source in Farsi) To me, as well as many, these tragedies are unbearable especially in this time of artistic depression in Iran.

I think to myself what did the embassy workers thought when they were removing the sculpture. They probably thought to themselves that it’s just a piece of decoration. Interestingly these people think of a religious object as sacred and would not touch it without washing their hands and faces (the practice of Vozu in Islam) first.
