SUMMARY:Artist Talk & Closing Reception with Mohammad Tabesh
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Closing Reception to celebrate The Book of Fading Memories by Mohammad Tabesh\n  \nMohammad will be joining via a Zoom live-stream\, and light refreshments will be provided. \nIn person attendance is encouraged\, and folks may also join online if they are unable to attend. \nThe Artist Talk will begin shortly after 7pm\, followed by the reception until 9pm. \n  \nAttending online? Register your attendance HERE. \n  \nThis event is FREE and all are welcome. \n\nAbout the Exhibition:\nGrowing up in Iran\, the highly political atmosphere of society and the constant turmoil in the region manifested themselves in Mohammad Tabesh’s memories. He remembers the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-88\, including mass arrests of political activists\, widespread imprisonments and executions with no fair trial. The Orwellian censorship imposed on his generation and the continuous religious propaganda experienced throughout his early education have made him a vigilant observer of the intimate moments between horror and humour. As a storyteller\, he strives to find a common language to share the stories of resistance and perseverance. \nIn this work\, The Book of Fading Memories\, Tabesh collects some of his memories of war\, violence and censorship into a hand-printed\, limited-edition artist’s book. Each story is told from two parallel viewpoints. While a poem portrays how he sees the event today\, an image illustrates his perspective as a child on the opposite page. Tabesh’s approach to writing poetry is brief and honest. By abandoning description and providing the essential elements\, he invites readers to envisage these memories through their own eyes. Broken verses encourage them to live the experience instead of merely reading the stories. Tabesh has developed a narrative visual language through tracing\, line drawing\, and a bande dessinée or graphic novel approach. \nMohammad Tabesh (he/him) is a Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist whose work delves into the complexities of the human experience\, resistance\, and social change. Across various media\, including writing\, printmaking\, multimedia\, and sculpture\, Tabesh strives to convey profoundly human and universal stories. As an artist\, Tabesh is committed to using his work as a vehicle for social change\, encouraging viewers to engage with his pieces personally and creatively. With a unique ability to blend the personal and political\, his work offers a powerful commentary on the human condition. \nTabesh’s work has been recognized with several grants from the Canada Council for the Arts\, the Ontario Arts Council\, the Toronto Arts Council\, and the Access Copyright Foundation. An engineer-turned-artist\, he earned his BFA from OCAD University and was honoured as the recipient of the university’s Sculpture and Installation Medal in 2020. He has been an Artist-in-Residence for ceramics at Harbourfront Centre since 2022. \n\nVisitor Information:\nNew to the A/P space?
