Iranian artist showcases “Constitutional Revolution of Iran” at US exhibition

TEHRAN- Iranian photographer and filmmaker Armin Amirian is participating in the 13th International FL3TCH3R Exhibition in the US with his artwork “Constitutional Revolution of Iran.”

The exhibition is being held from August 7 to September 27, at the Fishman Gallery in Johnson City, Tennessee, bringing together works by international artists selected by this year’s juror and curator, Jessica Burke.

“Constitutional Revolution of Iran” is part of Amirian’s “Until History Freezes” series, which he created in 2020 as a continuation of his narrative approach to art.

In the series, figures associated with Iran’s Constitutional Revolution emerge beneath a layer of ice, creating a visual interpretation of a pivotal chapter in the country’s modern history.

The Constitutional Revolution, which began in 1905 and culminated in the establishment of a constitutional system in Iran, marked a major turning point in the country’s political and social development. The movement sought to establish the rule of law and limit absolute royal authority through the creation of a parliament and a constitutional framework.

Amirian’s participation in the Fletcher exhibition marks another step in an international artistic career that includes more than 100 exhibitions and festivals around the world. He has previously received several honors, including the Distinguished Artist Award from the Fletcher Foundation.

Works from the “Until History Freezes” series have previously been presented in solo exhibitions in Iran, Italy and France, as well as in international exhibitions at venues including the Saatchi Gallery in London and exhibitions in the United States, Germany and Spain.

The Fletcher exhibitions were established in memory of Fletcher Dyer, with the aim of continuing his legacy of addressing social and political issues through art. The annual exhibition provides an international platform for artists whose works engage with contemporary social and political themes.

This year’s exhibition features works selected by Burke, who serves as the juror and curator of the 13th edition. The Fletcher Exhibition awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on September 4 at Fishman Gallery.
