註釋Imran Mir's (1950-2014) oeuvre can be interpreted as a constant refusal to provide comprehensive elaboration beyond what one experiences. The act of contemplation is a guiding principle to interpreting Imran Mir's work, an approach that reverberates into a practice that grew out of conversations with a community of artists, activists, poets, relatives, and other thinkers in Karachi. Non-figurative, non-representational, geometrical and very bold, Imran Mir's works can be read as theorems and positions on multiple modernisms and abstractions. Without being a critique or a response, he played with the rules, bypassing and expanding them to other realms to explore ways of being, ways of knowing time and space outside of the confinements of the West. Published in conjunction with Abstracting Parables - an exhibition triptych and a sonic journey through guides, scripts, rituals, and murmurings. It brings together the artistic positions of Sedje Hémon, Abdias do Nascimento and Imran Mir, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (01.07.-16.10.2022).
