Rybon Art Center is an international, nonpolitical, autonomous, artist-led initiative, based in Tehran. It was established in 2008 to promote innovation, experimentation and marketing of art among the local community of artists and to explore the possibilities of exchanging ideas and knowledge across ethnic, regional and artistic borders, in the context of contemporary critical art practice in Iran.
At present, Rybon Art Center has undertaken a number of projects that include, international art workshops, exhibitions, developing local art networks and sustaining regional and international connections.
Rybon supports artists and their works to facilitate and encourage new experiences in art. It aims to create a vast network of different artistic routes and make artistic and cultural connections with the art institutes and organizations throughout the world.
Rybon Art Center is part of the Triangle Network.
Initiating a Web-Based Artistic Network
Information technology provided us with facilities to promote internal and international art regardless of the local limitations and difficulties.
Moreover, Rybon team believes that fluid networks of exchange between countries leads to the professional development of the artists.
Rybon Photo Gallery: The first stage of this network was initiated as Rybon Photo Gallery in early 2009. The main objective of Rybon Photo Gallery is to present Iranian artists’ photographs which are categorized under two divisions namely Fine Art and Documentary. Our strategy is to present only creative and critically approved photograph series regardless of the age and prominence of the artists.
Rybon Documentary: The next division of Rybon Art Center was initiated in late September 2009. It deals with documentary films and already is unanimously accepted as one of the most influential and informative sites pertaining to documentary cinema in Iran. It is in Persian. Rybon Documentary subdivisions include Interview, Report, Articles, Book Introduction, Criticism, and News and so on.
