From the Exhibition Catalog:
The initial idea of this exhibition came into my mind when I looked at the well-known art work of pop art er titled “Just what is it that makes today’s home so different, so appealing?” by Richard Hamilton. I asked the same question from myself and the answer to this contemplation was Media. The common indicator of all the media is Television which undoubtedly almost all the people of the world deal with it by some means.
Television, as the most powerful medium, is considered as the common language of people all over the world. After a little consideration we cloud conclude that this little but impressive box has occupied our mind with too many patterns and samples so we are not able to connect with the real world anymore. This magic box dominates every small or big decision of ours, so avoiding it, means to evade the whole world and its people.
This collection attempts to acquaint us more with this old member of the family, so maybe this crack on its body cloud reveal the inner reality of it.
