Shock and Awe, Iraqi Style


Halahmy4 There is a gallery opening here in NYC, Soho to be exact, that I want to mention.  Oded Halahmy's Pomegranate Gallery will be featuring the first complete exhibition of Iraqi art in the US, exclusively from wartime contemporaries of Baghdad--an Iraqi perspective of Shock and Awe.  Featured artists are Sat'aar Darweesh, Sadik Jaffar, Ahmed Nousaife and Koudair Shakarji.  (Halahmy's bronze cast from 2006, "Iraq Is My Home," pictured.)  The gallery will also unveil the world premiere of "Night of Fire" by Mohammed Hussein.

The opening reception for the exhibit takes place this Thursday, May 24th from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at 133 Greene Street (off Prince).  The catalog is available on this site and the pieces will be on view through Saturday, June 21.  Go see it.
