Intersect 01 Group Exhibition

“Intersect 01” is an ambitious and thought-provoking exhibition curated by Sama Ashrafi and Hamid Nemati, exploring the convergence of art and design. It highlights the shared creative foundation of both disciplines—rooted in human experience, wisdom, and innovation—while acknowledging their distinct roles. Art often aims to evoke emotion and provoke reflection, whereas design primarily seeks to enhance functionality in our surroundings. This exhibition challenges traditional boundaries by integrating art into everyday environments, blurring the lines between aesthetics and utility. By featuring interdisciplinary works such as paintings, sculptures, and product designs in a cohesive space, “Intersect 01” underscores that art is not confined to galleries; it resides in the objects and spaces that shape our lives. This broader perspective adds relevance to art, making it more accessible and relatable to our daily experiences. The curation positions art and design as two sides of the same coin, collaborating to create beauty, meaning, and functionality in our world. The vision promotes a seamless blend of aesthetics and practicality, suggesting that these elements are not only intertwined but essential to one another in shaping modern life. Through this exhibition, the aim is to make art an integral part of our daily existence, demonstrating that the creative spirit permeates every aspect of our surroundings.
