La galleria Muratcentoventidue Artecontemporanea prosegue il suo programma espositivo con Domino Dancing, la prima mostra personale in Italia di Anahita Razmi.
Anahita Razmi è una video artista e performer nata ad Amburgo che vive e lavora tra Stoccarda e Amburgo. Si è recentemente tenuta a Stoccarda, nel Kunstmuseum, la sua prima mostra personale, il suo lavoro è stato esposto nel Padiglione Venezia nell’ultima Biennale.
Di madre tedesca e padre iraniano , Anahita Razmi ha un rapporto speciale con il paese d'origine del padre. Nel suo lavoro si occupa di questioni politiche e sociali, che spesso sono legate all'Iran, affrontando temi universali come l'identità di genere, il diritto all'esistenza, l'esperienza dello sradicamento. La sua attenzione è rivolta a quanto accade quando oggetti di uso quotidiano, azioni , immagini e suoni familiari sono trapiantati in un diverso contesto culturale oltre che estetico. Questi spostamenti semantici e le loro conseguenze sono alla base delle opere della Razmi che spesso prendono in prestito e citano il lavoro di altre artiste di alto profilo. Lavorando all'interno della tradizione di appropriazione e di re-enactment, Anahita Razmi separa simboli culturali dai loro significati consolidati per impiegarli in contesti e situazioni inaspettate come nella sua opera più nota, che si ispira a un pezzo della coreografa Trisha Brown del 1971, Roof Piece, in cui venivano ripresi dodici ballerini mentre danzavano sui tetti di New York. Nel suo lavoro Roof Teheran, vincitore nel 2011 del The Emdash Award (Frieze Foundation), vediamo dei ballerini danzare sui tetti di alcuni edifici di Teheran in un paese dove la danza è illegale e la performance artistica è vietata. Si tratta di un chiaro riferimento alle manifestazioni che si sono tenute sui tetti durante le proteste avvenute nel 2009 dopo le elezioni presidenziali iraniane.
Il video Domino Dancing, che dà il titolo alla mostra, mostra un gruppo di ballerini che partecipa a un Dance Marathon party tenutosi in un salotto di una casa privata di Teheran nel gennaio 2014. Poiché è l'unica musica del party, il coro della hit dei Pet Shop Boys " Domino Dancing " si ripete più volte (Tutto il giorno…tutto il giorno Guarda tutti cadono ..Tutto il giorno, tutto il giorno.. Domino dancing) . La danza va avanti per ore, fino a quando - uno dopo l’altro – i ballerini abbandonano la gara.
Il ballo, le feste miste, la musica occidentale e l’alcool sono ufficialmente vietati in Iran - tuttavia le persone si riuniscono in case private per aggirare le restrizioni. Il lavoro riguarda i modi in cui si nasconde la ribellione - ma utilizzando il format di una maratona di danza, alla rivolta simbolica si sovrappone un faticoso e demoralizzante loop di un movimento del corpo che si ripete in continuazione. ”Guarda..cadono tutti” ,canta Neil Tenant più e più volte, il destino dei ballerini che abbandonano , uno dopo l'altro , è ineluttabile.
Le maratone di ballo erano particolarmente popolari negli Stati Uniti negli anni Venti / Trenta. In un periodo di recessione, la danza aveva poco a che fare con l’esuberanza – i concorrenti per lo più avevano bisogno di soldi e il pubblico era felice per l'intrattenimento a buon mercato. In Domino Dancing la scelta di questo format definisce la performance video, sviluppando relazioni bidirezionali tra danza come espressione di libertà e danza come estenuante fatica di Sisifo.
L'installazione video Arsenals è costituita da una video proiezione e una serie allineata di tradizionali pipe ad acqua sinistramente colorate di nero. Il video mostra il volto dell'artista mentre soffia una serie infinita di nuvole di fumo nella videocamera. Le immagini video, riprodotte al rallentatore , sono legate insieme e accompagnate da estratti di colonne sonore . I brani musicali provengono da una selezione di scene molto coinvolgenti: catastrofi, scene culminanti, rese dei conti, momenti di tensione / suspense . La minima ripetizione del movimento corporeo in combinazione con la composizione musicale produce un’immagine molto stilizzata, che rinvia agli effetti e alle strategie comunemente usati nel cinema commerciale. Un certo numero di tradizionali pipe ad acqua nere è posto di fronte alla proiezione video. Il colore nero e l’allineamento in serie contribuiscono a separare l’oggetto dalla funzione tradizionale, all’interno dell’installazione potrebbero così ricordare un arsenale di armi.
La videoinstallazione House of Strenght è costituita da un videoloop che mostra l'artista mentre pratica uno sport diffuso in Iran, il "Varzesh-e Bastani", che viene eseguito con un’attrezzatura tradizionale in una "Zurkhaneh" (Casa della Forza). Lo sport è praticato solo da uomini in Iran, le donne non sono ammesse nei club. Mettendo in discussione questa base patriarcale dello sport, House of Strenght sostituisce il corpo maschile dell'atleta con il corpo femminile dell’artista. Gli esercizi sono continuamente ripetuti rimandando a un processo meccanico, senza alcun output.
L'installazione ottagonale sul pavimento con la sua forma tipica di una piattaforma in una zurkhaheh, rimanda a una pittura astratta per la sua forma geometrica e il pubblico può attraversarla per seguire il video.
Anahita Razmi (b.1981) è nata ad Amburgo, vive e lavora tra Stoccarda e Amburgo.

Galleria Muratcentoventidue is pleased to present Domino Dancing, the first solo exhibition in Italy by the internationally acclaimed artist Anahita Razmi. Anahita Razmi studied art and media design in Weimar, New York and Stuttgart. The works of the artist, born in Hamburg in 1981, can be placed between video and performance art. In many projects, Razmi establishes links between her father's country of origin, Iran, and her German home. She makes work that deals with issues concerning identity and gender by employing objects with a national and cultural significance; sometimes borrowing and citing the work of other high-profile artists. Working within the tradition of appropriation and re-enactment, Razmi detaches cultural symbols from their established meanings by employing them in unexpected situations and contexts. In 2011 she realized Roof Piece Tehran, a remake of the famous dance performance “Roof Piece” by Trisha Brown on the roofs of New York city in the 1970s, under difficult conditions in Teheran. The need to keep the project a secret in a country where modern dance is forbidden is tangible in Razmi's twelve-part video installation . In January 2013, the artist realized with her performance " Re / Cut Piece " in Dubai , a re-enactment of the legendary performance " Cut piece " by Yoko Ono (1964) transferring the original performance from their feminist context of the 1960s to contemporary Dubai.
Anahita Razmi has already taken part in various exhibitions, her solo shows include presentations at Kunstmuseum Stuttgart (2012), Kunstverein Friedrichshafen (2011) and Kunstverein Hannover (2013). She received several prestigious awards and scholarships, including the MAK-Schindler Scholarship, Los Angeles(2012) and the Emdash Award of the Frieze Foundation (2011).
The video Domino Dancing, which gives the title to the exhibition, is showing a group of dancers participating in a Dance Marathon Party, that was organized in a Tehran living room in January 2014. As the only party music, the chorus line of Pet Shop Boys Hit "Domino Dancing" is repeated over & over again (ALL DAY ALL DAY WATCH THEM ALL FALL DOWN, ALL DAY ALL DAY, DOMINO DANCING). The dancing to these two lines goes on for hours, until - one by one - the dancers drop out of the race.
Dancing, mixed gender parties, western music & alcohol are officially forbidden in Iran, - still people gather in private homes to sidestep restrictions. The work is relating to that hidden way of rebellion, - but by using the format of a dance marathon, the symbolic uprising is superimposed by an exhausting and demoralizing loop of ever-repeating body movement. WATCH THEM ALL FALL DOWN sings Neil Tenant over and over again, the forecast of the dancers dropping out,one after another, is inevitable.
Dance Marathons were especially popular in the US in the Twenties / Thirties. In a time of recession, the dancing had little to do with exuberance - contestants mostly needed money and audience was happy for cheap entertainment. Within Domino Dancing this chosen format defines the video performance, building up bidirectional relations between dance as an expression of freedom and dance as a back-breaking sisyphean task.
The video installation Arsenals consists of a video projection and a line of black water pipes. The video is showing a portrait of the artist, who is blowing clouds of smoke into the camera in an endless series. The video images, playing in slow motion, are accompanied by strung together extracts of movie soundtrack compositions. The pieces of music originate from a selection of catchy movie scenes: catastrophes, climaxes, showdowns, moments of tension / suspense. The repetition of the minimal body movement in combination with the loaded musical composition produces a minimal but at the same time strongly stylized image that is referring to popular cinematic strategies and effects. The staged climax is replaced and covered by a smoke screen, which is transforming the physical activity into a pathetic buzzword. A number of black sprayed water pipes are placed in front of the video projection. Their original function is abstracted by color and array, within the installation they might recall an arsenal of weapons.
The videoinstallation House of Strength consists of a videoloop and an octagonal colored floor sticker. The video is showing the artist in a five-fold juxtaposition practicing the iranian sports "Varzesh-e Bastani", which is executed with traditional equipment in a “Zurkhaneh” (House of Strength). The sport is only executed by men in Iran, - women are not allowed in the clubs. Initially disturbing this patriarchal base of the sport, the work House of Strength replaces the body of the male athlete with the body of the female artist. The ever repeating exercises are meanwhile reminding of a mechanical process without any output. The octagonal floor installation is referring to the shape of a typical zurkhaheh ring, - located somewhere between an abstract geometrical floor painting and a ring, which can be entered by the audience to follow the video.
