Shahpour Pouyan, After, the execution of Mazdak before Nushirwan, the arch-heretic and communist has been hoisted on a gallows by his feet and is being shot full of arrows, 2018
Pouyan's participation in the Focus section of The Armory Show is featured in Galerie Magazine's round up of what to see at the fair.
"Lawrie Shabibi, meanwhile, offers new work by Shapour Pouyan in the Focus section, where galleries are showcasing art that examines the relationship between the body and technology. The Iranian-born Pouyan flaunts a hybrid machine that combines a catapult with a guillotine, as well as a series of appropriated Persian miniatures, from which he has ironically eradicated historical figures and details."
