Dear class,
As I mentioned on Monday, I'd like you to take a look at Shirin Neshat's current show at Barbara Gladstone Gallery some time this week, if you can. This is the artist whose work inspired my ideas for the midterm project. When you see it, think about the relationships (both visual and conceptual) between the text and the subjects (i.e., the people in the photographs). What is the text doing to them? What kind of associations does the combination of text and figure evoke? Keep in mind, of course, that your own project can differ substantially from Neshat's work; this is simply to get you thinking along these lines.
The address of the gallery is: 515 W. 24th St., and the show closes February 11th.
