Artworks which are not made to be preserved but to have a lifespan of their own, where there is a start and an end point. Creations that are not meant to be static, but rather to evolve over time. A journey that begins with the creation of the work and ends with its destruction.<\/p>\n<p>His works can be viewed as a challenge to the traditional notion of art where works are not meant to be viewed as a finished product, but rather as a process, as a reminder of the beauty of impermanence.<\/p>\n<p>He has both a BA and MA in Sculpture from the Baku State Art University in Azerbaijan. He had both group and solo exhibitions in Iran at the Naghsh Gallery, Azerbaijan at the Artim Art Space, Yarat Contemporary Art Space, H.Aliyev Center, the Baki Gallery, Azerbaijan Museum of Fine Arts and in the United States at the Seed Corn Gallery in California.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solo exhibitions:<\/strong><br>2017 \u201cI dreamed I was asleep\u201d &#8211; IESA la gallerie &#8211; Paris &#8211; France<br>2016 \u201cThis too shall pass\u201d &#8211; Artim art space &#8211; Baku &#8211; Azerbaijan<br><strong>Group exhibitions:<\/strong><br>2025 Goud Zout Gallery, Beursschouwburg, Brussels, Belgium<br>2023 Preserved Nature, Azerbaijan National Art Museum &#8211; Baku &#8211; Azerbaijan<br>2021 Nasimi art exhibition, Old City &#8211; Baku &#8211; Azerbaijan<br>2020 Nasimi art exhibition, Old City &#8211; Baku &#8211; Azerbaijan<br>2016 \u201c300 Words on Resistance\u201d exhibition &#8211; Yarat contemporary art space &#8211; Baku &#8211; Azerbaijan<br>2014 Semeni international art exhibition &#8211; H.Aliyev Center &#8211; with one open air work \u201cDNA\u201d &#8211; Baku &#8211; Azerbaijan<br>2014 Reflection Art exhibition held in French embassy &#8211; Baku &#8211; Azerbaijan<br>2013 Caspian art exhibition \u201cThe feast\u201d &#8211; Baku \u2013 Azerbaijan<br>2013 Zavod contemporary art exhibition &#8211; Baku \u2013 Azerbaijan<br>2013 \u201cCatalysator\u201d with one video art &#8211; Baku \u2013 Azerbaijan<br>2008 fall group exhibition in Academy of Arts \u2013 Baku Azerbaijan<br>2008 group exhibition \u201cGermany in three colors\u201d \u2013 Baku, Azerbaijan<br>2008 summer group exhibition in Seed Corn gallery \u2013 Berkeley, CA<br>2006 Group exhibition, Baki Gallery &#8211; Baku, Azerbaijan<br><strong>Education:<\/strong><br>2017 MBA in Contemporary Art: Sales, Display &amp; Collecting, IESA, Paris<br>2010-2013 masters degree Baku State Art University, Azerbaijan Republic<br>2004-2010 bachelor degree Baku State Art University, Azerbaijan Republic<br>2003 One year sculpting course in Azimzadeh Art College of Baku<\/p>\n<h6><\/h6>\n<p><br><\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Habib Saher (born 1986 Iran, currently based in Brussels) works &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-40","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.habibsaher.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/40","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.habibsaher.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.habibsaher.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.habibsaher.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.habibsaher.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"http:\/\/www.habibsaher.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/40\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":521,"href":"http:\/\/www.habibsaher.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/40\/revisions\/521"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.habibsaher.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
