Khak Gallery was established in 2002 in Tehran by Mandana Farahmand Pooya. Since then the gallery has been representing both well-established Iranian artists and young talented emerging ones. The Khak Gallery venue in Dubai was established in November 2012 to provide another international platform to show and promote Iranian contemporary art with different and new approaches. As a curatorial space the gallery organizes monthly exhibitions throughout the year in both venues ranging from photography and painting, to installation and performance. The Gallery regularly features works by prominent artists but is also open to exceptional young artists acting as a venue for showcasing emerging talents. Our mission is to create favorable conditions for the presentation of contemporary artworks and providing a platform for the introduction of various categories of contemporary arts.
