Dancing Where the Dreams Live
Curated by Nahid Hagigat
Located in Brooklyn at
The Bridge and Tunnel Gallery
After over a year and a half of shutdown, distancing, and virtual correlation, we are extremely excited for you to experience this unique and exclusive body of work in person.
‘Dancing Where The Dreams Live’ brings together seven world-renowned and celebrated American-Iranian artists in a group exhibition at the inaugural opening of The Bridge and Tunnel gallery.
Hadi Hazavei, Nicky Nodjoumi, Sudi Sharafshahi, and Nahid Hagigat met in the mid 1960’s in Tehran University. Through years of creating art, partaking in solo and group exhibitions, and living as artists in NYC, they connected with more Iranian artists who later became life-long friends. Among those artists were Shahram Karimi, Nazanin Noroozi, and Farshid Shafiey.
From paintings to etchings, sculpture and installations, Dancing Where The Dreams Live brings the circle of old friends together for the first time under one roof to share their stories and dreams through their timeless creations. On view from October 9th through November 6th.

Walls of Downtown Tehran
by Mehdi Gooran Savadkoohi
Online Exhibit – December 2020 through March 2021
Mehdi Gooran Savadkoohi is a street photographer and a prominent graphic designer whose work documents Tehran’s urban spaces, graffiti and cityscapes in an unconventional, poetic, and often abstract manner. His curious lens introduces a rarely seen point of views to the walls of downtown Tehran that is a complex matrix of texture, colors and mark-making.
Savadkoohi often walks for miles in the downtown neighborhoods, block-by-block and alley-by-alley, never missing a dead end, selectively capturing the traces left behind by regular Tehraners. He never edits his images after he takes the shots. Savadkoohi’s close-up photographs of the graffitist, posters, pieces of shoddy engineering, layers of bad paint jobs, and slogans sprayed on these walls may seem like an abstract work of art. But they also carry a forceful history of the presence of ordinary citizens who engage with a built environment that verges on controlled chaos.
Savadkoohi’s works have been included in many exhibitions and platforms including Golestan Gallery, Iran Graphic Design Biennial, and Tehran’s Graphic Museum. He is the founder of Simorgh Graphic Design Studio, co-founder of “Co-operative Tehran Graphic Designers”, and a member of Iranian Graphic Design Association among others. Savadkoohi lives and works in Tehran, Iran.
All photographs are Edition of 10. $450.00 unframed, 14×11 inches print size. All other sizes are on demand.
