NEVER BEEN TO TEHRAN

October 19 - November 16, 2007
EXHIBITION VENUES / 展示会場:

  • Parkingallery, Tehran, Iran
  • Caravansarai, Istanbul, Turkey
  • San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery, San Francisco, USA
  • Media and Interdisciplinary Arts Centre, Auckland, New Zealand
  • Koh-I-Noor, Copenhagen, Denmark
  • Mess Hall, Chicago, USA
  • Pittsburgh Cultural Trust (Downtown Electronic Jumbotron), Pittsburgh, USA
  • Embryosalon, Berlin, Germany

... and live on the web at WWW.NeverBeenToTehran.COM

Imagine a city that you've only seen in reproductions or perhaps have merely heard about. A place, like many others, that only exists for you through indirect sources--the nightly news, hearsay, literature, magazines, movies, and the Internet. Using these secondhand clues as firsthand research materials, invited worldwide participants--who have Never Been to Tehran--will take photographs (from their home base) of what they imagine Tehran to look like. Contributors will upload their photos daily to an on-line photosharing site, which will be projected as a slideshow simultaneously in galleries and public spaces around the world (including Tehran). Anything that anyone might take a photograph of is fair game, just as long as it feels like Tehran.

For the international contributors to this exhibition, the task is to search through their daily lives for clues to a foreign place, for the possibility that somewhere else exists right under their noses and that, like some clunky form of astral projection, one can travel to other lands without leaving home. New information technologies are expanding the possibility of knowing a place to which you've never traveled. Hosts of amateur and commercial websites and podcasts about a given city, its economy, demographics, culture and subculture have opened the way for a new vernacular of representation.

As Tehran's image is regularly depicted in the dominant media, it is a compelling challenge for the participants in this exhibition to sift through the glut of images and information to cull out a personally constructed version of an unfamiliar place. For viewers in Tehran, the exhibition presents a chance to witness an unusual mirroring of their globally projected image, taken from the daily lives and environs of outsiders. Collectively, the artists and viewers of Never Been to Tehran will be charting a liminal space stuck somewhere between here and there that in our contemporary existence just might be home.

2007年 10月19日〜11月16日の会期で世界各国(イラン、トルコ、アメリカ3都市、ニュージーランド、デンマーク、ドイツ)で開催中された展覧会「Never Been To Tehran」に、私・辻恵子も参加しました。アメリカ人アーティストのジョン・ルービンオーロラピクチャーショーのアンドレア・グラヴァーがキュレーターとなり、アメリカ、カナダ、アイルランド、パキスタンなどに住む映像作家や写真家など世界各国の「一度もテヘランを訪ねたことがない(never been to Tehran)」招待作家たちが未知の地を想像して身の回りの光景をカメラで切り取るプロジェクト。E-fluxなどでも紹介されました。私にとっては"写真を撮る"人として初めての展示参加です。
