  Professor Pamela Karimi explores the spatial and temporal turns that have animated Iranian art scenes since the 1990s. She illuminates the economic, social, intellectual, and visceral forces that have driven Iran’s creative agents toward increasingly original forms of site-oriented and durational artmaking. Predominantly ephemeral, most of these artworks don’t enter the global art market, at least not in the…
