O Gallery at Paper Positions Berlin: Showcasing Iranian Artists Dedicated to the Medium of Paper 
Since its inception in 2014, O Gallery has established itself as a leading contemporary art space in Tehran, with one of its main focuses being the promotion of young and emerging artists who work extensively with paper. This dedication has played a pivotal role in elevating paper-based artworks to a status comparable to other mediums, contributing to a broader appreciation and recognition of “paper” over the past decade.
In this edition of Paper Positions Berlin, O Gallery presents the works of three Tehran-based artists—Razieh Sedighian (b. 1986 Tehran, Iran), Maryam Mohry (b. 1979 Tehran, Iran) and Ashkan Sanei  (b. 1984 Urumieh, Iran)—whose practices are deeply rooted in the paper medium. Additionally, we feature Berlin-based Iranian artist Iman Rezaei (b. 1981 Shiraz, Iran), for the first time, whose work is not primarily focused on paper but embraces a wide range of materials, using whatever is available to him—paper being one of them.

We celebrate our tenth year in business at O Gallery! Take a look at our year in review.
