Gladstone Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new video installations and photographs by artist Shirin Neshat, her third solo exhibition at the gallery. Neshat’s work engages the viewer through powerful images, sweeping scores, and evocations of human passions and desires, while examining the social tropes that both stratify and unite. Neshat pitches these dialectics of East/West, man/woman, and oppressor /oppressed, to such a degree that these seemingly immutable polarities become malleable locations for query. In two new films and accompanying photographs, Neshat continues her exploration of Shahrnush Parsipur’s novel Women Without Men.
