Nadia Khawaja: "Drawings - Videos - Photographs" June 9 - July 22, 2011
Thomas Erben Gallery is pleased to present the first US solo exhibition of Lahore-based Nadia Khawaja (b. 1977, Lahore), whose work was first seen in the gallery as part of New Art from Pakistan, Jan-Feb, 2010. Contrary to the miniature based, politically slanted figuration usually associated with contemporary Pakistani art, Khawaja has developed a personal, abstract vocabulary in drawing, while finding physical world equivalents to her concepts in photography and video. Displayed side by side, the different works attest to the artist’s interest in relationships between control and surrender, rationality and spirituality, as well as presence and timelessness.

June 4 - November 27, 2011
Iraq's experimental contemporary artists have never had a chance to present their work for an Iraq Pavilion at la Biennale di Venezia; the first and last major appearance in 1976 outlined only some of their "modern" artists.
