1. Iran Inside and Out/6PM/Chelsea Art Museum, 556 W 22nd St New York, NY/ Cost:$8/The Chelsea Museum presents what has to be one of the timeliest exhibitions in its history:Iran Inside Out. With violence and political unrest roiling in that country, this exhibit takes a closer look at its inherent contradictions, tradition, culture, identity, and struggle — especially as faced by its younger generation of artists. Fifty-six Iranian artists (including those still living in the country, as well as those scattered across the diaspora) present 210 works, organized around themes like gender and sexuality (”From Iran to Queeran”), or war and politics (the satiric “In Search of the Axis of Evil”). As gruesome descriptions and footage of the election-protest clampdown continue to slip through Iranian censors daily, having Iran Inside Out’s creative insight into the country seems a privilege, indeed. Official Site: http://chelseaartmuseum.org/index.php
