NADAAA’s Amin Tadj, with his partners at VAV Studio, completed their installation, AND, at the Venice Biennale. The installation, a cylindrical gallery, acts as a narrative of work produced by the generation growing up in the 1979 revolution in Iran. Launching practice in the post-war aftermath, VAV Studio gained recognition through collaboration on successful competitions.
“In a broader view, “AND” stands for the way our generation acknowledges its drastically diverse society, and for our mission of conjunction. It represents the eclectic identities of ourselves. “AND” represents our praise for democracy. It introduces the possibility of resisting and negotiating simultaneously. “AND” represents our openness to collaboration, the belief that no one holds the ultimate answer, but rather that the answer can be found collectively. “AND” means that we are just a link in a chain.”
