A transcript of the artist talk and dialogue: Iran|Usa artist talk 2026.
The first of the past weekend’s Middle East attacks on Saturday (28 Feb 2026) came the day of the reprise exhibition of my Iran|Usa show (staged in Tehran in 2015 and remounted in an expanded solo museum exhibit in 2017). This year New York’s Hudson Milliner Art Salon had already been showcasing one of the video installations from the Iran|Usa trilogy in their current group show (Jan-March 2026) when they arranged a special evening event to screen the full trilogy followed by an artist talk and discussion (via Zoom) that evening. I had been looking forward to showing the three pieces together in the U.S. again, after having presented individual pieces in various international gallery and festival settings in the intervening years. The coincidence of the attacks on the day of the exhibit resonated through the event that endeavored to navigate the relations and distinctions between art and politics.
