GATES OF TURAN
KYRGYZ PAVILION - 59TH INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA 22 Apr - 27 Nov 2022 GATES OF TURAN investigates the immaterial substance of memory through the sourcing of archaic cosmogonies across sacred material, derived semiology and spiritual realms. The artist draws inspiration from what he defines as a nomadic displacement, the result of early exile in his childhood following the Iranian Islamic revolution in 1979 that led him to investigate his clan’s tribal past - and in this instance - the hereditary ties linking him to central Asia, Kyrgyz culture and to the myths and epics related to the idea of Turan.
