Summary
[edit]| Description |
"Heech" is the Persian word for 'nothing'. This bronze heech in a bronze cage is in the British Museum. The white explanation card reads: "Parviz Tanavoli (Iranian b. 1937) Bronze "This work brings to life the Persian word heech which means 'nothing'. It is one of a celebrated series of sculptures made by the Vancouver-based Iranian artist Parviz Tanavoli.The concept of nothingness plays an important role in Sufism, a mystical branch of Islam. Heech represents the annihilation of self, the final threshold along the path toward unity with God. Dynamically rendered in the sixteenth-century Persian nasta'liq script, the word becomes animated, challenging the notion of nothingness." _________________________________ § <a href="http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=3201102&partId=1" rel="nofollow">Read more on the British Museum website.</a> § <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/01/parviz-tanavoli-iranian-artist-made-something-nothing" rel="nofollow">Guardian article about Parviz Tanavoli</a> by journalist Saeed Kamali Dehghan. 1 January 2016. _______________________ Photos in the British Museum. 7 February 2016 - a brief visit. |
