Art: Mitra Tabrizian “This is That Place” at Tate Britain

Print This Post 4:07 pm Listings

Running concurrently with the Tate Britain’s Orientalist Art Exhibition is “This is That Place” an exhibition of Mitra Tabrizian’s photographic tableaux curated by Rose Issa.

The images explore the potent political subjects of modern Iran and act as a perfect counter position to the Orientalist Exhibition.

Given the current world order and fervent interest in art from the region, it makes one wonder why on earth didn’t the Tate give the exhbition headline position?  Comments please!

Go and see for yourselves. Entrance free - 4th June to 10th August 10am-6pm, late opening to 10pm every 1st Friday of the month.  Tate Britain’s website is HERE and click for map.
