IN PRAISE OF SOIL. AN EXHIBITION OF THREE IRANIAN OUTSIDER SCULPTURE ARTISTS. CURATOR: LEYLA SABOORI. 21 sep to 3 Oct 2018; 17:00 to 21:00 Saara is Khatozin’s bride. She’s telling about her mother in law in her dreams making mud sculptures and after waking up she starts to sculpt. While watching Khatuzin, also Sara starts to sculpt. She has made all the images was in heart via Kordestan’s soil. “kordestan’s soil is gold”, she said. She has a big heart and full_of_love. While sculpting she forgets everything, even love. The time spend on sculpting is just like the time in sweat dreams or her. She’s laughing, joking and she knows that being fortunate is to have Ebrahim, her daughters and her son. When she’s working she starts to sing in Kurdish, getting away of now and speaking whit her sculptures. When a sculpture has broken, is just like her heart is broken. Sara knows to be an artist in life. ——————————- Ghaed was born in Kuzekonan village. In Kuzekonan most of the people are sculpting . He learnt sculpting from his cousin. Working is like a rest to him. He has worked all his life. When he was a child all the whistle he made was in animal shapes. Gradually he decided to make animal sculptures in large scales. He is watching his sculptures carefully and spending so many time on making them. He’s quiet, speaks a little and watching a lot. In the answer of my questions he was laughing. The voice of his whistles was rang in so many ’s childhood. ——————————- Seddigheh Najibi loves the beauties, but the #nature more. With an extreme delicacy she separates the stones from mountains and bring them home. She herself learnt how to make sculptures with lots of trials and errors. Her youth is passed on nursing her sick husband. It’s been a long time that she separates herself from all the world and routine and came to her workplace and entered to her own world. Once people has broken her sculptures as they are idols, but she has continued to make them. “I’m speaking with Godin my workplace”, she said. My hands are not healthy and even they have palatine and my eyes don’t see as well as first but I do my art yet. My sculptures have silent #face, but they have another face which is screaming.
