DURING THESE SIX MONTHS, SHIRIN ZERAATY AND TABITHA NAGY HAVE WORKED WITH 12 ARTISTS TO CURATE AN EXHIBITION ON THE TOPIC OF ARTIST PROFILING, EXPLORING THE RELATION OF THE LIFE OF THE ARTIST AND THE ARTWORK AND THE INTERPRETATION OF WORKS BASED ON THE CONTEXT CREATED BY TEXTS, LIKE THE BIOGRAPHIES.
