What I learned by befriending Iranians on Facebook
Iran looks a certain way to Westerners. But a look into the day to day lives of normal Iranians can change that perception. Thank you Vox for producing this.

Pushwagner: Soft City
Since the 1960s, the Norwegian artist Hariton Pushwagner (Oslo 1940) has produced a body of work with a gloomy vision of the future. Following a productive period, Pushwagner’s life and career suffered a downward spiral in the 1980s and 1990s due to the artist’s dependence on drink and drugs. He has enjoyed a revival since 2008, followed by a solo exhibition in MK Gallery and Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. MK Gallery director Anthony Spira gives a short introduction on the work of this mysterious artist.

To uker til åpning: Hanne Friis
Hanne Friis was born in 1972 in Oslo and studied painting and sculpture at the Trondheim Academy of Art. Her textile sculptures are created with fabrics that are often dyed by her through experimentation and slow dyeing processes that give the material for her sculptures pictorial expressions of unpredictable effect. Using a strictly manual technique, Friis transforms a soft and fluffy material into abstract and sensual works, with a solid and complex structure that seem to be engaged in an autonomous, slow but inexorable process of perennial growth and change. As metaphors of the flow of life and the succession of events and phenomena that characterize it, her works are synthesis and representation of the ambiguity between form and matter.

Emotions Beneath The Surface
Arjun & Huishi were both international students in the US. "We decided to document our emotions about living away from home and represent it visually. For 30 days, we noted qualitative and quantitative parameters like how many times we called home, the number of times we tried to save money, and how often we switched to our native language. We visually represented this data as different parts of a dandelion."

DARKROOM
At the modern-day crossroads of Turkey and Syria, the neighborhood of Istasyon is taken over by children with cameras. Through their gaze, they transform cinder block villages into portals and roam freely across abandoned train tracks to Sirkhane Darkroom, an oasis of red light and pomegranate trees, where their images are born. Darkroom is an experimental and celebratory portrait of Istasyon’s youth and their capacity to forge an alternate reality within a conflict zone. Embedded in this vibrant 16mm film, a co-creation between the film crew and these photography students is a reverence for the mysterious power and intimacy of analog image-making. Starring - SIRKHANE DARKROOM Additional Camera - STUDENTS AT SIRKHANE DARKROOM WORKSHOP Sound Mixer - AIDAN REYNOLDS Colorist - BRENNAN BARSELL Produced by - ASLI BAYKAL GILLIAN GARCIA RAF FELLNER Executive Producer - ASLI BAYKAL SERBEST SALIH

Jeppe Hein, Today I feel like …
Jeppe Hein’s workshop Today I feel like ... involves children taking part in a series of simple breathing exercises, after which they will be asked to paint how they feel. By encouraging participants to pause and reflect on their emotions, Today I feel like... invites all of us––children and adults alike––to share our feelings more openly, ultimately leading to better mental health outcomes as well as a stronger sense of community.
