In one of my new art practical theoretical workshops, a set of nests was made and installed in the nature of Polour and the Paradise Art Center in Tehran. I was restricted for teaching new art and holding workshops in universities.
Nests for Birds: All The Birds Will Have A Nest

The development and expansion of cities, industrial areas, the continuation of tree cutting, and the increase of pollution in our environment have all created difficult challenges for many living creatures.
Traditionally there was a balanced, built-in relationship between human beings, our surroundings, and other life forms. Now more than ever, we need to care for and nurture all living creatures that are currently or potentially under threat in our fragile environment.
Ahmad Nadalian and his student recently produced a collection of hand-built nests for habitation and installed them in various site-specific regions and ecological zones.
In the process of producing these delicate works, the artists discovered a variety of hidden mysteries in our environment. It was their intention to lure the attention of an audience by highlighting the beauty of nature and our interaction with it.
Beyond the important ecological issues related to nest building, Ahmad Nadalian and his artist students also want to extend the message that birds are an allegory for the souls of human beings who also need host and refuge.

حسام محمدیان دانشجوی نقاشی بود. در این کارگاه ها شرکت کرد. وقتی صحبت می کردم متوجه شدم که به موسیقی علاقه دارد. از او خواستم با ساز کوچکش در محیط کارگاه صدا ایجاد کند. در کارگاه های بعدی گام به گام از هنرجویان می خواستم که با عناصر طبیعت صدا ایجاد کنند. با این روند هنر صدا در حوزه هنرهای محیطی متولد شد.
