2009 Iranian Presidential Election:

On Iranian Presidential Election:
The 2009 presidential election in Iran has fully occupied my days in the past month. There are 3 candidates running besides the current president. They are: Mir-Hossein Mousavi (Independent Reformist), Mehdi Karroubi (Etemad-e Meli, Reformist) Mohsen Rezaee (Independent Conservative).

If you are interested and you are more comfortable reading the news on Iran's coming election in English these are some useful inks to check. Most of my links are from BBC News partly because I am an old BBC fan and in some parts because I think among other agencies BBC is relatively impartial.

Selseleh/Zelzeleh: Movers & Shakers in Contemporary Iranian Art

An exhibition of Contemporary Iranian Art in LTMH Gallery (Leila Taghinia-Milani Heller Gallery). It is a group exhibition featuring 40 artists from the post WWII to today. Selseleh/Zelzeleh stands for Tradition/Tremor. I would paraphrase it to Row-Maker /Row-breaker. The names that caught my eyes are: Parviz Tanavoli, Nazanin Pouyandeh, Sohrab Sepehri and ShirinNeshat. The exhibition will be on view until August 20th, 2009. If I make it to New York this summer this exhibition will be one of my visits.

Heech on a Chair, Parviz Tanavoli, 2007-8,
