Ab-Anbar gallery in Tehran

Ab-Anbar gallery, a new multidisciplinary contemporary art centre in downtown Tehran announces its next exhibition on December 4th, featuring works by Raha Raissnia to be exhibited for the first time in Tehran.Selected Works: Raha Raissnia is an exhibition of Raha's dense, explorations of light which manifest as works on paper, paintings and film installations. Described as a ‘night-painter', one that Milton Cruz situates as having a habit of "starting from the other side of things", theses works emerge from stillness, silence and darkness whilst operating at the fleeting moment of being half-awake, as light flutters between the hallucinatory that is difficult to wrap around consciousness.Alongside paintings and some works on paper, her 16 mm film Longing, 2015, which was selected as part of All the World's Future at the 56th Venice Biennale 2015, curated by Okwu (Photo by NurPhoto/NurPhoto via Getty Images)
