5centsapound: Babak Golkar “Grounds for Standing and Understanding” In this work, Golkar juxtaposes specific Western modernist tendencies, such as the use of minimalist language in modern architecture, against the very specific traditions of the geometric patterns found in nomadic Persian carpets. This juxtaposition generates a dynamic visual and conceptual reflection on existent cultural barriers, while additionally referencing the erected symbols of western patriotism against the emerging megapolis’ of Middle-Eastern countries. -- source link
