THE EXQUISITE CORPSE SHALL DRINK THE NEW WINE

As visitors enter the gallery and step onto a lavishly painted floor they become part of a production set in motion by artists Rokni and Ramin Haerizadeh and Hesam Rahmanian. Without wall texts or guides it soon becomes apparent that sensation and experience is the overriding intent here and that narrative and representation is of little value or relevance.

After a frenetic three weeks in which this dollhouse environment came together, the trio presented their unique and immersive "ambience" to captive audiences. Centered on spontaneous actions and gestures and coupled with the intentional blurring of standard binary values, this exhibition is the much anticipated response to I Put it There, You Name It, held at Gallery Isabelle van den Eynde in 2012 which introduced the concept of bridging the divide between the standard gallery environment and the idiosyncrasies of a private, domestic space.

Featuring new collaborative work by the Haerizadeh brothers and Rahmanian, The show folds together these group projects with individual works by the artists as well as art selected from their own collection as "visual quotes", including works by the Guerilla Girls, Nicole Eisenman and 18th century English caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson.
