British-Iranian artist Reza Aramesh will present, as part of the program of the 14th Havana Biennial, the solo show entitled “Ruptura; Una y Mil Veces” (Rupture; Once and a Thousand Times). The opening will take place on January 21 at 4:00 p.m. at the National Museum of Decorative Arts, the exhibition will end on April 30. 2022. · Working across a wide range of materials and processes, Aramesh examines simultaneously the history of Western art and a contemporary commentary on the politics and history of the Middle East, conjuring a unique visual language in addressing the contemporary conditions of violence and geo-politics, to that of the classic standards of beauty. He successfully delivers the unwanted transgressions of society by employing beauty as the delivery agent. Aramesh often expresses, “my role as an artist is to contribute to the ongoing conversation towards art history and to challenge the boundaries of European Art history in relation to the absence of the other. · The pieces in the exhibition have been carefully selected to create a dialogue with the museum’s history, its collection, and the Biennial’s theme (Future and Contemporaneity), whose logo is “based on the idea of a linear path connecting 14 points located around the perimeter of a circle, in such a way that it is possible to generate thousands of designs”.
