Galerie Max Hetzler Berlin | Paris / Galeria Plan B, Berlin, Cluj 2015 With a text by Navid Nuur
‘The new chapter of Navid Nuur’s oeuvre complements his eye-dazzling visual universe and is still researching principal tactile, vocal, visual and conceptual ties between people and objects with DIY experiments, language games and paradoxes. MINING MEMORY is an exhibition [Galerie Max Hetzler, Berlin, 2015] that feeds from the past and prototypes the future, informed by the artist, who retrospectively seems to have been experimenting in the forge of his studio with abstract patternology, participatory acts and an almost undefinable use of materials, media and documentation much before Post-Internet art was on the rise.’

The way in which Navid Nuur (b. 1976) relates to material, the space around him and his observations therein, can almost be regarded as devout. The attention for detail and the careful fine-tuning of the various elements of a work or exhibition make the audience part of an ‘inner’ world. In Nuur’s work – although very conceptual at first sight – a very personal visual problem becomes the central question. What Nuur has in common with the conceptual artists from the sixties is the relation between concept and form. Form for him however, is not necessarily the result of the idea, but materializes through a subjective program of requirements or rules in which intuition has the upper hand. He applies concepts that often relate to a temporary in-between state that places his work between the audience and an often abstract phenomenon, such as light, energy, air, or ‘rest space’. Nuur’s form-language and meaning are therefore principally purely process-oriented.
