Open Table no 3:
Katy Shahandeh & Omid Asadi

Low brick walls are build to different heights in a state of unfinishedness. There are two piles of bricks: one one an old black singer sewing machine, on the other an old tape player and stack of tapes. On the ground fluffy dandelion seeds like a carpet, and to the right an Iranian rug. — Omid Asadi, Resonance and Remnants (2023). Photo by JOmid Asadi, Resonance and Remnants (2023).

A short publication to mark the third in a series of Open Table events at Castlefield Gallery; evenings of conversation that explore selected exhibitions from the 2022–2024 programme.

Katy Shahandeh was invited to develop a text-based response to the solo exhibition by Omid Asadi (15 October 2023–21 January 2024), and the two were in-conversation for the third Open Table event at the gallery on 16 January 2024.

The Open Table events are curated by James Mathews-Hiskett and texts published as pdfs in collaboration with Corridor8, marking the start of a two year collaboration. Commissions and publications are supported as part of a collaborative bursary programme.
