Better safe and sorry <\/em>is a new collaborative work by Malm\u00f6-based artist Bahareh Mirhadi and Tehran-based artist Arash Mirhadi, constructed and performed as part of the Weekly Mass <\/em>exhibition at Sk\u00e5nes konstf\u00f6rening. The two siblings are this year\u2019s recipients of the Unicorn Artists in Solidarity residency grant. Their projected work was centered around collaboration, family memories, control and the differences that distance constructs. When Arash Mirhadi\u2019s visa application and subsequent appeal were rejected, distance became enforced onto them as a method. Furthermore, the power and control that institutions exert became the starting point of their installation and performance.<\/p>\n Control and institutionalised distrust breaks relationships and reaffirms, again and again, the pyramid of power. Schengen\/EU use profiling as a tool to hinder mobility and access when requested by residents of countries framed as \u201ca risk\u201d in migration law terms.<\/p>\n What is more important, freedom or security? <\/em> is one of the key questions asked by the artists in the ellusive room <\/em>of the installation. It is also one of the key questions framing their talk. Moderated by the two curators of Weekly Mass, <\/em>Simona Dumitriu and Tawanda Appiah, the talk will address Bahareh and Arash\u2019s most recent work in the wider logic of their solo and collaborative practices.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bahareh Mirhadi<\/strong> was born on April 20, 1985 in Shiraz, Iran. She is currently living in Malm\u00f6, Sweden. She received her Bachelor in Painting in Iran, then she continued her education at the Ume\u00e5 Art Academy in Sweden and graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in 2012. In Iran, she worked with figurative painting and drawing, concerning herself and events happening in her life. Since moving to Sweden, her painting revolves around her surroundings and society. Nowadays working mostly with film and performance, she explores themes such as migration, human action and reaction, patience and tolerance, and ways people are enforced\/controlled \u2013 and ways people control themselves \u2013 in society. The second talk of Better safe and sorry with take place in G\u00f6teborg, at Konstepidemin, on November 28 2018, 5 pm.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thank you: Unicorn Artists in Solidarity, Sveriges Konstf\u00f6reningar<\/p>\n This talk is organized by Sk\u00e5nes konstf\u00f6rening and Moderna Museet Malm\u00f6, as part of the \u201cKonsten att m\u00f6tas\u201d project, and hosted by Moderna Museet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Better safe and sorry is a new collaborative work by Malm\u00f6-based artist Bahareh Mirhadi and Tehran-based artist Arash Mirhadi, constructed and performed as part of the Weekly Mass exhibition at Sk\u00e5nes konstf\u00f6rening.
