Finissage - A Conversation with Radna Rumping and Chupan Atashi, moderated by Amal Alhaag
As the new moon approaches, join us for the finnisage on Saturday 13th December, the last day to view Snapshots #6: Daddy Party آن نافه مراد که میخواستم ز بخت درچین زلف آن بت مشکین کلاله بود by Chupan Atashi, curated by Radna Rumping. We’ll host a Conversation with the artist and curator, moderated by Amal Alhaag with drinks and snacks! We would love to see you at this bittersweet curtain call, to look back at our collaboration over the last two months; the performances, workshops and associated publication.
Radna Rumping is a curator, writer and artist based in Amsterdam. Her practice is relational and collaborative, dealing with public space, experimental archiving, ways of gathering, and conditions of (in)visibility. She has an affinity with art practices that defy categorization, and a special interest in radio and performance art.
Chupan Atashi is an Iranian photographer and artist who builds multimedia installations that function as spaces for growth, transformation, and grief. Atashi’s work looks at the connections between the time of the self and the time of the world, investigating these temporal relationships as forces of transition, change, and rupture. Where do I return from my memories? Where do I arrive after I remember? Memory takes me to the realm of what is lost. Exile is an observatory for watching the time.

Daddy Party is a new multimedia work by Chupan Atashi that focuses on themes of pain, care and sexuality within the artist's ongoing exploration of memory. How can pain potentially be a tool of transformation and overcoming trauma? The wound must be touched for healing to happen. Presented as a collaborative solo exhibition at Metro54, curated by Radna Rumping, Daddy Party features an extensive sculptural installation, video animation, photography, performance and a public program. Seeds and roots are sprouting, bananas and limes composting, stitches are loosened, sculptures are dripping. Elements from past and present rub up against each other within a morphing constellation where colonial collapse occasions a new beginning for the lovers.
