Summary

For more than a decade, Tala Madani has developed a practice centered on playful yet provocative representations of men. In paintings, drawings, and stop-motion animation, Madani creates deadpan and often hilarious satirical works that both mock virility and redistribute the dynamics of power. Disquieting and occasionally disturbing, Madani's humorous scenarios are a bravely comic reaction to the very real oppression facing women in the Middle East. This book includes essays that consider Madani's treatment of light, her film work, and a conversation between Madani and artist A. L. Steiner. Exhibition: Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, USA (15.01.-03.04.2016) / MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA (20.05.-17.07.2016).
