What we need :  We need art works on cardboard, carton, canvas or any light material. Maximum Size : 50×50cms

What we Do:

We gather all the art work, sort it in groups or one group (depending on quantity of works we may receive). Then we Hang them on public walls, invite people to take them home if they like them. So it is more than affordable . For us this idea is perfect. People who don’t  have lots of money can obtain an original new art piece for their home.

We take photographs of the process and selected images can be seen in the flickr pool of http://www.flickr.com/groups/itsyourstakeit . Finally a selection of photos from all the event and Textual contents will be published in the Brainstorm Online magazine No.11 .

For having the postal address just send an email with your URL to kolahstudio@gmail.com , and we will send you the Address label.

2. Project: One Day – A Collective Narrative of Tehran

A project organized by Taraneh Hemami & Ghazaleh Hedayat

Featuring the work of eight artists living in Tehran, Iran; Nima Alizadeh, Saba Alizadeh, Mohammad Ghazali, Ghazaleh Hedayat, Abbas Kowsari, Mehran Mohajer, Neda Razavipour, and Homayoun Sirizi – alongside new work by San Francisco-based artist Taraneh Hemami.

This multi-media exhibition compiles a collective narrative of everyday Tehran, the largest city in the Middle East and the 16th most populated city in the world with close to 8 million residents. Representing the current unpredictability of  each day in Tehran and also the hope that comes from imagining a better future, the artists chronicle narratives of place and time, demystifying life in a county that has been misunderstood and maligned for decades.
