Their works perfectly illustrate the transformations of an era, a society, and a country undergoing profound economic, social, and historical change. Rich in a millennia-old history and a richly blended culture, their works stand, in turn, at a crossroads. Balancing gentle nostalgia and intense modernity, they felt like a natural choice to express our desire to discover and to share \u2014 and above all, to invite dialogue and encounter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px absolute bottom-0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"15\">Exhibition<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"17\" data-end=\"80\">In collaboration with <strong data-start=\"39\" data-end=\"80\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Galerie Maryam Ahi<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"82\" data-end=\"110\">Two galleries, two artists<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"82\" data-end=\"110\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galerieloft.com\/en\/artists\/adel-younesi\/adel-younesi\/\">Adel Younesi<\/a> <\/span><\/span>&amp; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galerieloft.com\/artiste\/medi-mirbagheri\/\">Mehdi MIRBAGHERI<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"199\" data-end=\"257\"><strong data-start=\"199\" data-end=\"257\">\u201cIranian Contemporary Art at the Crossroads of Worlds\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"259\" data-end=\"342\">Opening of the new gallery &amp; Private View:<br data-start=\"301\" data-end=\"304\" \/><strong>Thursday, January 26, 2017 from 6 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"344\" data-end=\"398\"><strong>Exhibition on view from January 26 to March 11, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"400\" data-end=\"438\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">To download the press kit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galerieloft.com\/presse\/expo-adel-younesi-mehdi-mirbageri-dossier-de-presse\/\">click here <\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For over 30 years, Galerie LOFT has been committed to discovering, supporting, and championing emerging artists from around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5755,"template":"","class_list":["post-5779","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/5779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibition"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
