The restoration of Namak Abroud’s installations records the renewal of works by different artists with SARAAJ’s management and team involvement. The project focuses on recovering existing artworks’ condition and maintaining the destination’s artistic identity.
In the Iranian calendar year 1398, SARAAJ’s specialist team repaired and restored urban installations in the tourism destination of Namak Abroud. Many of these works had been created by Iranian artists and had changed over time under the effects of local weather. Drawing on children’s imaginative worlds and familiar memories, such installations can bring life to otherwise impersonal surroundings. Children and adults alike can experience surprise and enjoyment when familiar cartoon characters appear as enlarged three-dimensional public artworks, reconnecting them with memories and nostalgia.
With this aim, SARAAJ Art Space Creation and Development Center restored ten urban landmarks that had deteriorated through time and a lack of care. SARAAJ’s artists worked on sculptures originally produced by different artists.
The project included approximately ten permanent and temporary installations. Select a title below to visit its project page:
