Neshat-isms
"A collection of quotations from the influential contemporary Iranian visual artist Shirin Neshat"--
Shirin Neshat: Women in Society
This publication surveys important works drawn from the entire career of the New York-based Iranian artist Shirin Neshat (born 1957), from the iconic inscribed photographs of the Women of Allah series (1993-97) to the artist's most recent work, which looks at American culture and the ambivalent experience of being Iranian in the United States. Working nimbly in film, photography, video and multi-channel installation, Neshat's work has always engaged questions of identity and belonging, investigating the relationships between the cultures of Islam and the West, femininity and masculinity, poetry and polemics, public life and private life, modernity and antiquity. Women in Society offers a comprehensive survey of Neshat's oeuvre, identifying two recurring themes in the artist's large and diverse body of work: the role of women in Islamic societies and the repercussions of traumatic, diaspora-related experiences suffered by women.

"This catalogue is published in conjunction with the exhibition Shirin Neshat: Facing History, organized by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian institution, Wahington DC May18- September 20, 2015"--Title page verso.
Shirin Neshat, Two Installations
One of the most exciting and important young artists of the past decade, Iranian-born Shirin Neshat has addressed issues of nation, colonialism, and gender in a variety of media, always challenging our preconceptions about art and society. She is particularly renowned for her film installations, which have been featured at several Whitney Biennials--and this new catalogue accompanies Raptureand Fervor, the second and third films in a trilogy exploring the social, political and psychological dimensions of women's experience in contemporary Islamic societies. The emphasis here is on the interplay between the explicit text and the implicit subtext in Islamic ritual, and how the emotions stirred up by these rituals can take on mercurial and contradictory forms.
زنان بدون مردان
"Women Without Men" is renowned visual artist Shirin Neshat's feature-film debut. Its exquisitely crafted view of the artist's native Iran during its tumultuous British and American-backed coup d'état in 1953 won Neshat the Silver Lion at the 2009 Venice International Film Festival. Adapted from the novel by Iranian author Shahrnush Parsipur, the film draws together the initially separate stories of five female characters during those traumatic days. With a camera that floats sedately through the lives of the women and the countryside of Iran, Neshat explores the political and psychological dimensions of her characters as they converge in a metaphorical orchard. This volume unites stills from the series of five video installations that originated the film with photographs and texts by critic Eleanor Heartney, Parsipur and the artist.
Shirin Neshat
Tracing the Iranian-born artist's personal journey in exile from her native Iran, this book presents Shirin Neshat's iconic early videos and photographs along with new work making its global debut. In the 1990s, Shirin Neshat's startling black-and-white videos of Iranian women won enormous praise for their poetic reflections on post-revolutionary life in her native country. Writing in the New Yorker, Peter Schjeldahl called her multi-screen video meditations on the culture of the chador in Islamic Iran "the first undoubtable masterpieces of video installation." Over the next twenty-five years Neshat's work has continued its passionate engagement with ancient and recent Iranian history, exten...

Shirin Neshat
"In her profoundly beautiful films Shirin Neshat raises the most pressing converns and predicaments of humanity: the conflict between madness and civilization, freedom and constraint, order and change, inhibition and release, despair and rage. This book documents the visusal, philisophical, and moral complexity of her uncompromising artistic quest."--Back cover.
