In an era of Cold War hysteria, Sting once sang, “Russians love their children too.” Twenty-five years and some axes of evil later, the artists of the Chelsea Art Museum’s exhibition Iran Inside Out , remind us, if needed, that the Iranians too love, laugh, imagine, create, and rise up just as the rest of us. The featured contemporary artists, living and working in Iran and throughout its Diaspora, prove there is a bubbling creative energy and an equally critical, sometimes scathing, global perspective emanating from this nation.
