Today I am going to talk about an article called "Incisive exhibition reveals range of Iranian modern art", the article is writing by Shadi Harouni and public in The Guardian, a very important british news paper.

The article is from the Art & Design part of the news paper and it is about iranian modern art. The exhibition features with twenty-six artists and over one hundred artworks.

 First of all, the writer describes her own feelings about the exhibition of iranian modern art, she is exiting and worried at the same time. This feeling has an explication, a lot of the artworks in the exhibition have't viewed never before, because some of the works were hid for many time, on the other hand, her concern about the exhibition is because a bad experience in the last iranian exhibition, she said the curated in that opportunity represent a western view of the iranian art.

 But then, the writer was very happy with the exhibition, she thinks the curation had a very high level and involved erudition.

 The writer also notices that the artworks don't have, necessarily, a western reference, so, she pushes her self to observe the works without comparing.  In fact, Shadi Harouni thinks all works in the exhibition express a need of an artistic identity, and artistic Iranian way of view.

 I love the article.
