Iran from the inside out at the Chelsea Art Museum
If you’ve got $8 ($4 for students and seniors) to spare between now and September 5th, go to the Chelsea Art Museum where they have an incredible displace called, Iran From the Inside Out.
Curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, Iran Inside Out is an examination of the means through which a young generation of artists is reconciling the daily implications of cultural and geographical distances with the search for individual artistic expression. The exhibition offers an unexpected insight into the artistic energy of a culture that is constantly evolving as Iranians living both in and out of the country, come of age living and working in contentious societies. While half of these artists such as Vahid Sharifian, Barbad Golshiri, Farideh Lashai and Jinoos Taghizadeh reside in Iran, the other half including artists such as Shirin Neshat, Shahram Entekhabi, Mitra Tabrizian and Shoja Azari has been interspersed in the Diaspora.
You won’t regret it. It’s well worth the $8 to see the exhibit.
