When you see real motivated pure powerful talent such as Iranian-American artist David Abir of NYC,
you just have to throw up your arms and scream
“Where have you been all of my life!”
His installation Tekrar shown at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in ‘07 was said to bring such unexpected emotional intensity that people were brought to tears and were washed over with a sense of inner peace.

David has been invited to show at Art Basil in Miami this past year and has been earning a growing reputation as a composer and sound specialist for artist working in video.
Octavio Zaya, who first commissioned the piece for a group exhibition entitled After the Revolution. Contemporary artists from Iran, writes “(Abir has) embarked upon a path that opens a new field of multi-disciplinary potential. The juxtaposition of the sometimes almost imperceptible adaptation or modification of the sound that accompanies the tenuous changes in lighting of the outer ear and this controlled space where the music happens, manages to modulate an extraordinary multi-sensorial experience, which we have only recently begun to consider among the emerging trends in artistic practice.”
I can’t wait to see what in store for this extraordinary artist/composer.
I know he will be written about for decades to come!
Just thought you should know about him.
Love all!
