Shabahang Tayyari

Summer 2018

Shabahang Tayyari (b.1987, Khalkhal, Iran) is a Tehran-based artist and video game player. What he offers ends up appearing simultaneously both anxious and hopeful, Innocent and corrupt. His artistic strategies are witty and dark; they employ game tactics and clever manipulation of texts, ideas, images, and meaning, merging together the provocative and the delicate. Tayyari serves as director of Delgosha Gallery in Tehran.

Shabahang Tayyari's residency project had been organized and Funded by Raf Projects e.V. in Berlin and Goethe Institute, Summer 2018
