Shirin Neshat
27.10.2018 - 17.02.3019

Photographic and film artist Shirin Neshat (b. 1957) grew up in Iran, but left at the age of 17 to study art at UC Berkeley in Los Angeles. Her work focuses on the conflict between her own roots and western culture, and the roles of men and women. This autumn her work will be on display at GEM. To Neshat’s delight, the show will run virtually concurrently with Splendour and Bliss. Arts of the Islamic World. From the early series Women of Allah to her more recent films and new photographic work, the selected works will illustrate Neshat’s development since the start of her career.
