Qazvin, 1957) examines the nuances of power and identity in the Islamic world--particularly in her native country of Iran, where she lived until 1975. This book, the companion volume to the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum exhibition of the same name, presents an array of Neshat's most compelling works, illuminating the points at which cultural and political events have inflected her artistic practice. Included are the "Women of Allah" photographs that catapulted the artist to international acclaim in the 1990s; lyrical video installations, which immerse the viewer in imagery and sound; and the photographic series "The Book of Kings"--including its latest chapter, Our House Is on Fire, created in the aftermath of the recent Egyptian revolutions. Commenting on freedom and loss, Neshat's deeply humanistic art is at once personal, political, and allegorical, and this book is an essential testament to its enduring power"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 244-247). 505 0 $a A state of in-between : Shirin Neshat's Iran / Melissa Ho -- I am still waiting for an apocalyptic angel with a key to this abyss / Steven Henry Madoff -- Poetic history : an interview with Shirin Neshat / Melissa Chiu -- "Sunlight, open windows, and fresh air" : the struggle for women's rights in Iran / Mahnaz Afkhami -- Artworks with commentaries by Shirin Neshat. 600 10 $a Neshat, Shirin, $d 1957- $v Exhibitions. 600 17 $a Neshat, Shirin, $d 1957- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00418277 650 7 $a ART / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART / Individual Artists / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART / Individual Artists / Monographs. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424028 700 1 $a Chiu, Melissa. 700 1 $a Madoff, Steven Henry. 700 1 $a Ho, Melissa. 700 1 $a Afkhami, Mahnaz. 710 2 $a Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211025801.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826113413.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=73E5331A55EF11E58B7A61D1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
