(un)(dis)covered
@ Leroy Neiman Center Gallery
37 South Wabash Ave., Suite 106, Chicago, IL
Opening Thursday, October 31st, from 4PM - 6PM
On view through Thursday, November 21st
Centering on shared themes of hiding, covering, and uncovering (UN)(DIS)COVERED proposes a sensitive and complex understanding of Persian identity through the work of three Iranian women artists. Exploring the dialectical relationship between veiling and unveiling, sculptures by Azadeh Gholizadeh (MFA 2012) interrogate the paradox of being both visible and hidden. Paintings by Maryam Zareh (MFA 2013) accentuate the separation of public and private spheres, prompting an acute awareness of the space exhibited and a deeper inquiry into that which is hidden. Juxtaposing traditional and modern sources, Sanaz Sohrabi’s (MFA 2014) photographic prints depict the dichotomy between personal identity and religion through a study of cultural materiality.
