ART, SOCIAL SPACE AND PUBLIC DISCOURSE RESIDENCY 2016
ART, SOCIAL SPACE AND PUBLIC DISCOURSE RESIDENCY 2016
"Art, Social Space and Public Discourse, envisioned and directed by artist Ala Ebtekar, is a Stanford global initiative on art that investigates the multiple contexts that shift and define changing ideas of public space. This ongoing critical framework of conversations, newly commissioned art projects, and exploration of various cultural productions and intellectual traditions looks at recent transformations of civic life."
Parham Ghalamdar was invited for a 40-day artist residency as part of the "Art, social space and public discourse in Iran" symposium at Stanford University. During the program he exhibited at Coulter Art Gallery alongside other artists such as Ahmad Kiarostami, delivered an artist talk and painted three large-scale commissioned murals including a collaboration with Mike Bam, from the TDK crew, for the Jack London Improvement District public collection. For information about the symposium you can visit the official website of the project.
