First studio exhibition the program features the final result of
mentoring conducted by the Jahangir
Salimkahnov with ARTIM Lab participants.
The workshops under the concept of "NAZIRA" have been dedicated
to launching new creative
projects by taking advantage of any element borrowed from another
work of art.
The purpose of the training was to create "outlooks" onto Nizami
Ganjavi`s poem "Seven Beauties" by various means, even in an
unusual way and format. "NAZIRA" in the eastern poetic traditions
is an "answer" of the
poet to the work (poem) of another poet.
The task was given to the participants to read the literary work and mark some plot/motive,metaphor, description, even indirect information, to choose an element related to any possible subject, be it astronomy, social strata, love etiquette, astrology, courtly pastimes, gemmology, cultural geography, etc. and to think about how this "appropriated" material could stimulate one`s artistic imagination.
The current studio exhibition provides an opportunity to follow the results of this process and feel the approach of today’s creatives to the literary monument of the old Epoque.
