BAHAR TAHERI

This poster was part of the exhibition Mémoire de l’avenir (2021): an urban poster exhibition representing the works of established and emerging artists. 

This project was born from a desire to create connections between different generations of Quebec artists.

The exhibition, curated by Kama La Mackerel, was made up of 3 pairs, each comprising an emerging artist and an established artist. These encounters allow us to immerse ourselves in Quebec art, in our everyday lives, and to reflect on the progression of certain themes in today's artistic imagination.             

From November to December 2021, these posters were exhibited in the streets of Montréal · Tiohtià:ke on Publicité Sauvage’s palisad

Bahar Taheri's work from her Logos series (photolithography and acrylic on paper, 2019) deconstructs the relationship to monumental buildings through the use of geometry and abstraction. In this work, Bahar Taheri shatters the structure of public buildings in which society's dominant imaginaries are invested. She reconstructs these monuments under a new abstract configuration that invites us to reformulate our relationship to what we see. The artist invites us not to take for granted the narratives that are offered to us without questioning them. By altering our relationship to the value of monumental heritage, Bahar Taheri's work allows us to examine the collective and political power dynamics that are embedded in architectural structures.
