If you’re in the San Francisco area, be sure to check out “Theory of Survival: Fabrications” at Southern Exposure. The exhibit runs until October 25th and features a gaggle of Persian artists, including the illustrious Hushi from ‘Sears and Robot’ fame. You may remember him from my past posts.. very talented fellow. Hushi’s collection is called ‘Dozd Bazaar: Bootleg Identities’ and exhibits a collection of objects and art inspired by his father’s days as a student activist during the two final decades of the Shah’s reign . By the way, ‘dozd’ means ‘thief’ in Farsi. Check out his site, Hushi Robot Mortezaie (contact hushidar5000 (at)gmail.com or contact the gallery: director(at)soex.org) for more information on purchasing any pieces.
