Film by Eric Minh Swenson.

Art Brief: Iranian Contemporary Los Angeles, the first public initiative of ADVOCARTSY, showcases a select group of Iranian and Iranian-American artists currently active in southern California. Co-curated by ADVOCARTSY founder Roshi Rahnama and internationally known curator and art critic Peter Frank, Art Brief provides a concentrated opportunity to introduce local artists of Iranian heritage to the Iranian community of the region - the largest such community outside Iran itself - and equally to the art community of Los Angeles. It is designed to build community and to build bridges between communities, but also to demonstrate the breadth of expression and meaning characterizing the art of Iranian-American artists, in Los Angeles as elsewhere.

Art Brief is the first of many projects ADVOCARTSY plans to undertake, documenting not just specific cultural groups or specific locales, but specific contemporary contexts and outlooks. Different artists, different organizers, different themes, and different interpretations will characterize the diverse projects now under discussion at ADVOCARTSY.
