Exhibition - Paris The esthetics of
Iranian art in fashion Video-interview by TVartween with the Iranian artist Farhad Moshiri whose work
attracts with comic sceneries in pop-art appeal of the 60ies, decorated with
Arabic elements. The French fashion magazine Fascineshion.com teasers in its
current newsletter the report ‘Silly You. Silly Me” about the work of Iranian
artist Farhad Moshiri (b. 1963) who has studied art in California. His work
is about living in a traditional and at the same time globalized world. Fascineshion
editor in chief Sabine Morandi’s artful
video begins
with a view on the writing ‘Life is Beautiful’ made of knifes. She states: “Farhad Moshiri has created a
new series of paintings made of beads embroidery and acrylic painting; the
subjects are sometimes falsely childish as if escaped from a cartoon or a
fairy tale. The artist is inviting us to go through the mirror of appearance.”

Music ‘Funnel of Love’ by Wanda Jackson Third Man Records, founded
by Jack White in Detroit in 2001, announces the release of two songs with
Wanda Jackson. “In an era when rock and roll and rockabilly was dominated by
men, Jackson was a groundbreaker who more than held her own with a ripping
voice like no other and hard-headed songs about no-nonsense female
protagonists.” Wanda Jackson’s cover songs from Amy Winehouse’s ‘You Know I'm
No Good’ and Johnny Kidd and the Pirates classic rocker ‘Shakin' All Over’
are produced by Jack White in his own studio,
available on vinyl and iTunes on 26 January. Listen in the meanwhile
‘Funnel of Love’ on Jackson’s myspace site to get an impression from her
rock-and-roll-country voice!
