Nesami. Dance Dance Dance is partially sponsored by The Prix Off F.P.Journe, pioneers leading institutional curated exhibitions under ArtMonte-Carlo.

From Tehran With Love
 
Shirin Neshat, Turbulent Series (1998)
 
This exhibition brings together the works of 45 emerging and established Iranian artists living in Iran and the diaspora. Celebrated internationally, these are artists that rebuke tired stereotypes instead underscoring their significance by engaging with the discourses of the moment. The title of the exhibition makes playful reference to ‘Tehran’, as a collective identity rather than a city, a notion formed through a remix and reimagining of nostalgic memories and discerning understandings of contemporary universal realities.
 
Exhibition (open to the public): Feb 10-12, 2020
7080 Hollywood Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90028
