In the Fields of Empty Days Exhibit
(Los Angeles-February 22, 2018) The Los Angeles County Museum of Art
(LACMA) presents In the Fields of Empty Days: The Intersection of Past and Present
in Iranian Art, a groundbreaking exhibition of both historical and contemporary Iranian
works that highlight ways in which artists have used and continue to use the past as a
metaphor for the present day. This notion is revealed in art and literature in which
ancient kings and heroes are used in later contexts as examples of virtue or as objects
of derision, while long-gone Shi'ite saints are evoked as champions of the poor and
the oppressed. Particularly timely to American audiences is the exhibition's
exploration of how Iranian artists negotiate the politically charged issues of
governance and faith in creating objects both novel and relevant.
