Madame Tussauds
Narration of the life of kings by painters, depicting historical realities filtered through the lens of imagination has been one of the rooted artistic methods in the Middle East.
This method of historical recording since 14th. Century, especially practiced in Afghanistan, Turkey, India, Iraq and Iran has sometime taken the shape of court paintings, commissioned by the kings and at times it has taken the shape of tea house paintings sponsored by people.
The body of work in "Madame Tussauds" is a reimaging and recording of the contemporary history in one of the still existing prominent court systems.

Rokni Haerizadeh (n. 1978, Téhéran), Ramin Haerizadeh (n. 1975, Téhéran), et Hesam Rahmanian (n. 1980, Knoxville) vivent et travaillent ensemble depuis 2009. Leur oeuvre est le fruit de l'énergie engendrée par des relations en constante évolution : entre eux, dans leur travail et dans leur environnement. De nouveaux collaborateurs, matériaux et événements vont et viennent dans cet espace. Leurs peintures, vidéos, objets et livres offrent juste ce qu'il faut pour piquer la curiosité sur les conditions de leur création.
