12³ is an unusual art project involving a relentless organizer, a furniture designer, a pioneering group of artists and a galley-as-playground. Each artist was given a chair and a cube to work on, and challenged to think of them as blank canvases. Individually, the pieces reflect each artist’s take on the challenge; together, they tell a short story of a time-specific cooperation. Trans-generational – from celebrated figures to the new generation of Iranian artists – the project reveals the creativity that emerges when art is looked at as a game.

From exhibition catalog… The Bingo series are consisted of paintings in which the self-conscious elements have been omitted. I have tried to ignore all the factors that somehow were tiding my paintings, except the audience themselves.
In these paintings the viewer and I stand in the positions of a two player-game.
If the viewer is looking for a certain meaning, I win.
If I am looking for an unrevealed meaning, the viewer is the wins
The third alternative is an interactive intention to confront the painting as discovering a chance, a moment.
From the second situation on, I realize it as an connection apart from the game and even away from my own work, a simple situation which offers the possibility of interaction between I as a viewer and the viewer and I.
In this process, the chance is the “Life” itself.
