Nuqtaha (The Points) - The 5th Color
Curated by Leland Hill. February 8-March 1, 2006

Nuqtaha (The Points) - The 5th Color comprises a selection of works by the members of this Iranian group of graphic designers. The exhibition consists of 10 posters from each member: Alireza Mostafazadeh Ebrahimi, Majid Abbasi, Saed Meshki, and Bijan Sayfouri. Their sensitivity to Arabic and Latin typography, along with their stunningly conceptual approach to imagery, provide a window to the graphic style of contemporary Iran. They strive to make the dynamic atmosphere of Iranian graphic design available to the world by presenting their work and opinions throughout the country. The members of The 5th Color draw their strength from one another, providing an opportunity for cultural collaboration in graphic design that would not be possible individually.
