The Third Line presents Pouran Jinchi’s "The Line of March” at the gallery’s Dubai venue.In the exhibition, she presents her new body of works and returns to a fundamental preoccupation — the parallels between art and language as modes of communication. This is done while extending her artistic expression in new directions. The artwork depicts unspoken traces of endless wars, perpetual conflict, and pervasive militarism. Pouran takes stock of a pervasive military aesthetic and her research extends to the ways military jargon permeates our common language, jotting notes in her notebooks.Pouran Jinchi, born in Mashhad, has been featured internationally in exhibitions in New York, London, Venice, Dusseldorf, Dubai, Jeddah, Shanghai, and Tokyo. These include The Great Game, Iranian Pavilion 56th Venice Biennale, Italy (2015); Ravaged Garden, NYU Art Gallery, New York (2015); Accented, Maraya Art Center, Sharjah, UAE (2015); The Blind Owl, The Third Line, Dubai, UAE (2013); New Blue and White, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (2013) and many others. The artist attuned early in life to the ways architecture, objects, decoration, and the written word can be imbued with symbolic power. This awareness is threaded throughout her body of work, which explores the dense intersectionality of literary and pictorial narratives.The exhibition will be on view from September 13 through October 21, 2017 at The Third Line, Alserkal Avenue, Warehouse H78 & H80, St. 8, Al Quoz 1, PO Box 72036, Dubai, UAE.
