Athens Abstracts at Le Temple, Athens
Athens Abstracts I June 2022 I Le Temple Athens
Produced in my FarmanFarmaian’s workshop perched on the Southern flank of Arditto hill - in the shadows of the iconic Kallimarmaro Pentelic Olympic stadium and the sacred vestiges of the Temple of Tyché - the series searches to vibrate with ethereal qualities : layering line, light and texture through the use of specific materials such as Pentelic and Dionysian Marble dust used in its time to build the temple of temples, the Parthenon here integrated into the paint and onto canvas.
Sourcing material within quarries that have delivered marble to Athenian temples such as the glorious Parthenon through millennia, I actively seek toactivate a dialogue between past and future - the material and the immaterial - here creating a sacred space to favor a reconnection to the idea of Beauty through the transformative power of contemporary practice.
59th Venice Biennale - Gates of Turan
Production, organization and management of the first Kyrgyz national pavilion in Venice
Firouz FarmanFarmaian’s multi-sensory installation for The Kyrgyz Republic Pavilion will feature eight hand-stitched, hand-felted Shyrdaks, designed by the artist to represent the tribal banners of the nomadic communities of ancient Turan. Set against a black background, the banners lead to a monumental Tündük—the central copula of traditional Kyrgyz yurt—suspended naked from the ceiling to form the central point of a meeting place, carpeted with white Yak felt. Throughout the installation the manipulation of light, colour, sound and shadow will use disembodied sculptural illuminations and soundscapes to animate the spirit of Turanic nomadic culture.
Expanding on the post-tribal investigations inherent to his work; Firouz FarmanFarmaian spent eight months working with the Altyn Kol Women Handicraft Cooperative in The Kyrgyz Republic. “Altyn Kol”, meaning “golden hands”, is a female led cooperative that continues to preserve the Kyrgyz tradition of hand crafting Shyrdaks and Ala-Kiiz, the hand stitched colorful felt floor-coverings used in Kyrgyz yurts, made only in Naryn and Issyk-Kul—the remote highland regions of The Kyrgyz Republic.
