Wishing a very happy birthday to the luminous Kour Pour! ✨🥂 @kourpour Kour Pour’s visual language is informed by longstanding, global traditions of intercultural exchange. By intersecting a wide range of material and aesthetic conventions that are connected to various geographic, cultural, and national heritages, Pour allows for a remapping of the standard understanding of “Eastern/Western” cultural exchange. Pour recently opened Guest House, a new exhibition space near his studio in Inglewood, CA. "Mehmooni : Part 1,” Guest House’s inaugural show, opened earlier this month and was featured in KCRW’s Art Insider Top 3. @guest_house_la Look for new works by Kour Pour in Kavi Gupta’s presentation at Frieze London 2023. A solo exhibition of Pour’s work is also forthcoming at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art in Tehran, Iran. Other recent major exhibitions include "A Boundless Drop to a Boundless Ocean," Orlando Museum of Art, Orlando, FL, USA; "Kour Pour: Familiar Spirits," Kavi Gupta, Chicago, IL, USA; "Returnee," The Club, Tokyo, Japan; "Manzareh/Keshiki/Landscape," Ever Gold [Projects], San Francisco, CA, USA; "Polypainting," Pearl Lam Galleries, Hong Kong, and GNYP Gallery, Berlin; "Gold Standard: Ten Year Anniversary Exhibition" at Ever Gold [Projects]; "Decoration Never Dies, Anyway," Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Museum, Tokyo, Japan; and "Labyrinth(s)," Pearl Lam Galleries, Hong Kong.
