Renowned artists have been planting powerful inspiration in the art world this winter season.

The luminaries creating magical mosaics in the Big Apple included Firouz FarmanFarmaian, who presented a string of new works that stormed Manhattan in a week-long multi-event in  December, two years after FarmanFarmaian’s transcultural movement made its mark on the 59th Biennale di Venezia at the Kyrgyz Pavilion.

The week started with band FORRM playing their US + NYC debut, where FarmanFarmaian presented FORRM’s new album GALACTICA. The album is strongly influenced by 60’s and 90’s independent rock and tribal performative explorative psychedelia. A 3-day pop-up “Paintovers” presented by Camilla FarmanFarmaian’s Saint Tropez based juncture Gallery showcased found and archival material through the process of “paintover”, which has been a hallmark of the artist’s work. On Thursday the artist hosted an immersive performance at the Museum of Arts, an audio-visual, AI-generated experience, powered by Interactive Items, that took viewers into the heart of the artist’s ongoing creative process in anticipation of his upcoming arthouse docu-film PATH.

Salomon Arts Gallery hosted Firouz FarmanFarmaian for a month long immersive exhibition and installation, Nomads of Persia. The show engaged with the endangered heritage of Persian tribal cultures disrupting established narratives from a position of exile in combination with the nomadic heritage of the artist’s fatherland, presented in multi-format form through textile, print, paint, video, sound, and AI-powered digital material.
