the embroidered text image uses line-like strokes to allude to the inarticulate nature of content, which is transformed into abstract colour compositions. at some point, these lines break off abruptly, allowing floating elements to emerge from the open space of the raw canvas, or for meaningful words to finally take shape. mystically concealed associations that evoke moods through wildly gestural painted backgrounds. this surreal state comes to a halt, as if in a moment of release, in the thread- wrapped objects.

Join as PARALLEL VIENNA | contemporary art fair to see works by Arezou Shayesteh Sadafian 🔥

📍 Located in Pavilion 13, Room 015 (ground floor)
📆 Open until Sunday, 13 September

Arezou Shayesteh Sadafian, a textile artist originally from Iran, works with thread on cardboard in her current series. These works demonstrate a very specific engagement with the textile material, with particular emphasis on the twisting of the thread and the resulting surface texture. The colour combinations, with their gradients and contrasts, form abstract compositions, each radiating out from a central point. The dense interweaving of the texturally structured textile lines creates varied reflections of light, whose shimmering effects produce distinct spatial effects.

🔥 Don’t miss: Markus Redl’s exhibition 𝘌𝘹𝘪𝘵_𝘚𝘢𝘧𝘦_𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 is on view until 28 May 🔥

In sociology, a safe space is understood as an inclusive environment — that is, a sanctuary or protected social space for people who, as members of a group, share experiences of discrimination.

The combination of “Safe Space” with the word “Exit” is particularly interesting as an exhibition title because it leads to an irresolvable uncertainty. “Exit” is, in itself, a multifaceted word. It means to go out; to bring something to an end; to leave a situation; or even the chance to turn one’s misfortune around and get to safety; it can also refer to the transition from life to death. The exhibition title 𝘌𝘹𝘪𝘵_𝘚𝘢𝘧𝘦_𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 requires an interpretation which, whatever the outcome, offers no certainty, because it cannot be clarified beyond doubt whether one is moving out of a safe space or into a safe space.

On view here are works from the 𝘖𝘸𝘭-𝘊𝘺𝘤𝘭𝘦, 𝘌𝘹𝘪𝘵_𝘚𝘢𝘧𝘦_𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦-𝘊𝘺𝘤𝘭𝘦 and the sculpture 𝘭𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘢.
