Ramin, Rokni, Hesam are a UAE-based artist collective from Iran, consisting of Ramin Haerizadeh (1975, Tehran), Rokni Haerizadeh (1978, Tehran), and Hesam Rahmanian (1980, Knoxville) who's working and living together described as a project, since 2009. [9] [10] [11] [12]

Contents

History

The three artists met in underground drawing and painting classes in the early 90s, while Iran was recovering from an eight-year war (Iran-Iraq: 1980–1988). [13] [14] These classes were formed as a result of the Iranian Cultural Revolution that lead many students, educators and lecturers to take their classes inside their private homes. [15] [16] [17]

Ramin Haerizadeh, Rokni Haerizadeh and Hesam Rahmanian's early collaborative practice formed as early as 1997 in Tehran, and the artists reside in the UAE since 2009. [18] [19] [20] Their home is a spectrum of a studio, a library, film set, research center, a museum and sketchbook for their upcoming project. [21] [22] [23] [24] [25]

Work

The artists work individually and collectively and often incorporate friends and people from different walks of life into their practice. [26] [27] The trio's work is often referred to as a landscape where the complex nature of processing is integrated in the nested system that forms the landscape of their practice. [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34]

Generosity is in the core of their practice. [35] They have practiced a model of how to collaborate, creating a self-sustaining creative life; how to build an aesthetic and undermine it; how to be politically acute and humorous, generous and eccentric. [36] [35] In the trios art making, production is performance. And the performance is a collective action leading to dance, art, and politics. [35] [37] According to Laura Marks, "preferring the intimacy of a few to the cruel judgments of a social order, they create a flourishing private utopia that turns abjection inside out, to release a seemingly endless supply of pleasure and invention. Living well is the best revenge." [38]

The collective has done projects with OGR Torino as collateral events of the 59th Venice Biennale (2022), NYU Abu Dhabi Art Gallery (2022), Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt (2020), Frye Art Museum, Seattle (2019), Officine Grandi Riparazioni (OGR), Turin (2018), MACBA, Barcelona (2017), Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), Boston (2015), Kunsthalle Zurich (2015) and Den Frie Udstilling, Copenhagen (2015).

The collective is also notable for receiving the Black Mountain College Prize, 2022, and Han Nefkens Foundation/MACBA Award (2016). [39] The trio has additionally been a part of group exhibitions including A Century of the Artist's Studio: 1920–2020, Whitechapel Gallery, London, UK, [40] Biennale of Sydney where they had a large installation I Prefer Talking to Doctors About Something Else at The Powerhouse Museum (2020), [41] the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark for Homeless Souls (2019) [42] for which they won the 6th Global Fine Art Award in Global Humanity category, [42] [43] The inaugural Toronto Biennial of Art 2019, [44] and a multi-room installation for The Creative Act in Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (2017), [45] as well as other exhibitions at three different locations for 9th Liverpool Biennial (2016). In 2015, the collective had the installation at Queensland Gallery for 8th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art. [46]
