بخشی از متن باربد گلشیری برای این مجموعه " آیینه بندان بن بست "
آثار مقدم اجازه نمی دهند درباره ی آئینه هایشان به عبث بر شاعرانگی آن استعاره های مرده پا بفشاریم یا مثلا" بر تقابل های مهوّع
نور و تاریکی، خیر و شر، معصومیت و گناه و هرچه از این دست. این را خصوصا جایی آشکار می بینیم که حجمی ایستاده است و حجمی دیگر کم و بیش با همان شکل پیش پایش دراز شده، درست مانند سایه، اما به جای آن که تیره باشد از همان جنس است. کار دیگری نیز که تمام این
حجم ها می کنند، به کناری گذاشتن زنگار است که دیدیم کمک دست کلیشه ی آیینه است. تسمه ی آهنی ای که دور کارها را قاب می گیرد از ظریف کاری بویی نبرده. میخ ها توی چشم می زنند و آهن دور آن است که دارد نرم نرم زنگار می بندد نه آینه ها
سوراخ های کلید کنجکاوی آدم را بر می انگیزند تا آن سوی آیینه ها را ببینیم، اما چه می شود دید وقتی درون آیینه باز خود آیینه است، یعنی آن چه در آیینه منفی ست باز مثبت شده ؟ اگر خوب نگاه کنیم فضای منفی آیینه ها، یعنی آن چه هنگام برش اول از حجم حذف شده، خود باز آیینه کاری دیگری شده است. کاری نیز هست که آشکارتر از مابقی آثار مازاد آیینه ها را نشانمان می دهد: چندین سوراخ از همین بریده و برداشته شده اند و خود حجم حفره حفره شده نیز آیینه کاری شده است. و باز خود سوراخ که باید جای کلیدی باشد به سرزمین آن سو، چیزی شده باز از همان جنس و این یعنی نه فرا رفتنی در کار است و نه فرو رفتنی

…Moghaddam’s works do not allow us to uselessly hang on to poeticality of dead metaphors regarding mirrors, or other nauseating binaries such as light and darkness, good and evil, virtue and vice and so forth. This becomes especially apparent when there exists a standing sculpture and another one of similar shape and size lies at its feet much like a shadow, yet instead of being dark the latter is of the same nature of the former. These sculptures serve another purpose, and that is to set aside the rust, which as we have observed assists the stereotype of mirrors as purity. The iron belts that gird the works have no essence of delicacy. The nails are too visible, and it is the girding iron belt that rusts away slowly and not the mirrors.
The keyholes raise one’s curiosity to peek into the other side of the mirror, but what could one see when inside mirrors there are mirrors yet again? That is to say, what was negative inside a mirror has been rendered positive. With close inspection we can see that the negative shape of mirrors, that is what’s been cut out from the bulk, has itself gone through mirror work once more. There’s one work that depicts the surplus of mirrors more discernibly than others: multiple holes have been cut and picked up from the same piece, and the punched mass itself has been worked on with mirror pieces. The hole that is meant to be a keyhole to the other side has once again become something of the same nature, and this shows that going beyond, cutting across and falling down are by no means feasible...

Overview and HistoryTehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."Getting ThereMehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.TransportationTehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.People and CultureMore than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.Things to do, RecommendationsTake the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.Tehran is also full of museums such as:the Contemporary Art Museumthe Abghine Musuem (glass works)the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museumthe museum of carpets (!!!)Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniaturesand most stunning of all,the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.Text by Steve Smith.
