Mentality by Reza Derakshani Kashya Hildebrand (Zurich) showed work by Reza Derakshani, Babak Kezemi and Tianbing Li at Scope Miami Beach 2013. The artists all work in Asia--Iran, the United Arab Emirates and China respectively.
What the pieces have in common is their fairly large scale. They also all have an almost mythological weight (which I felt even before reading the descriptions and the meaning of each piece).
Without going into all of these, Farhad and Shirin, is an Iranian story about a stone mason trying to win the hand of a princess by completing an impossible task. The task proves less impossible than imagined but there is still no happy ending.
Kashya Hildebrand, currently in Zurich, is in the process of moving to London. Find out more HERE.
