I don't believe Ms. Neshat will be there for this opening, but she is scheduled for a lecture at Tulane in December. This show is devastating. I recommend a few visits. The longest piece is 20 minutes and excruciatingly engaging. The show is called Women Without Men, and it's all about women living in the shadow of men.
Please join us on Thursday, November 20 at 6 p.m. for an exhibition reception for Shirin Neshat: Women without Men. Members are invited to come at 5 pm to enjoy complimentary hors d'oeuvres and wine during the members' preview hour. Admission is free of charge. This event is open to the public. For more information, call or e-mail Teresa Parker Farris at (504)-314-2406 or tpfarris@tulane.edu respectively.
Shirin Neshat: Women without Men consists of four video installations by one of the
most important contemporary artists working today. Based on Shahrnush Parsipur's novel of the same name, the exhibition presents single narratives from the author's interwoven tale of outcast Iranian women. For exhibition information, call (504)-865-5361.

I could not agree with you more. This is a wonderful piece of work by an extremely talented artist. So far, this is one of my personal P.1 favorites.
Thanks for the post.
