Spring 2009 Visiting Artists and Scholars Lecture Series
An Iranian-born artist who has lived in the US since 1974, Shirin Neshat portrays, in her photographs and films, the emotional space of exile, in particular, as such emotions touch on the role of women in Islamic society. She has had solo exhibitions at such venues as the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City, the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston (Texas, USA), the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis (Minnesota, USA), the Espoo Museum of Modern Art in Espoo (Finland), Castello di Rivoli in Turin (Italy), the Art Institute of Chicago, Serpentine Gallery in London, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León in León (Spain), the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum für Gegenwart in Berlin, and Gladstone Gallery in New York City. Her awards include the 2004 Hiroshima Freedom Prize and the 2006 Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize. Neshat is currently completing a film based on Shahrnush Parsipur’s book Women Without Men (2004).
