Instructions for...

Curator. Baharak Omidfard and Akram Ahmadi Tavana

Statement:

Is it possible to create art based on instructions? 

Artistic instructions are provided by the artist as suggestions, guides, or directives to carry out a purposeful artistic act or to consciously refrain from doing so.

These instructions are abstract models or, in other words, unexecuted forms of the artwork that need to take shape and form through interaction with the audience/recipient.

Through the instructions they provide (in the form of language or images), artists enable creative intervention, participation, and agency in the artwork.

This type of agency, within the framework of the "Instructions for..." project, is viewed as both an exercise for daily life and a way to confront new situations.

It is also a method for the democratic interpretation and execution of an artwork, as art is not only an invitation to think but also an invitation to act.
