    Abstract

    The art scene and its spaces in Tehran enjoy various degrees of recognition from official, permitted, registered models to unofficial practices. Artistic practices experience a blurred division between the official and the unofficial, and between visibility and invisibility. The complex and multifold conditions in which alternative and non-market-driven artists work leave them striving for survival strategies among which spatial and architectural tactics play a key role. Whether deliberately or not, the working strategies of alternative artistic practices in Tehran employ architecture as one of their main instruments of liberation.
