The exhibition entitled, Selseleh/Zelzeleh: Movers & Shakers in Contemporary Iranian Art, is a group show made up of 40 artists, all of whom are Iranian (or hold that as their heritage). Art Log explains the title of the show and its purpose- "Selseleh/Zelzeleh (loosely translated as Tradition/Tremor) seeks to illuminate the depth and richness of Iranian art from the post WWII generation to the present." Since some of this art (of all different media) has never been shown in the US, its definitely a must-see.
