"Träume sind universell." Selbstbewusst und kraftvoll, zugleich verletzlich und fragil wirken die Werke der iranischen Künstlerin, Fotografin und Filmemacherin Shirin Neshat (geb. 1957 in Qazvin, Iran; lebt und arbeitet in New York, USA). Zentrale Themen ihres Schaffens sind Identität, Herkunft und Machtstrukturen. Die Verbindung und Erweiterung der reichen Tradition persischer und westlicher Bildsprachen prägen das Œuvre der Künstlerin, deren Arbeiten im Zentrum der ersten Präsentation innerhalb der Kooperation der Pinakothek der Moderne mit der Written Art Collection stehen. In ihrem jüngsten Werk Land of Dreams (2019) werden persische Kalligrafie und westliche Porträtkunst zusammengeführt, wobei es erstmalig die Medien Fotografie und Video vereint. Die Arbeit kombiniert dokumentarische und fiktionale Elemente. Neshat untersucht den American Dream und seine Kehrseiten, indem sie die Porträtierten zu ihren Träumen interviewte. Die Kurzfassung der Träume hat sie in persischer Schrift in die Fotografien integriert, ebenso wie traditionelle bildliche Motive. Neshat schafft in ihrem Werk durch die Verbindung von Schrift, gestischem Ausdruck und Formatvariation eine rhythmisch-poetische Dichte, der jeweils eigene Narrative universeller menschlicher Erfahrungen eingeschrieben sind. Der ausstellungsbegleitende Katalog blickt auf die Verbindung von Schrift und Bild. Die Publikation beinhaltet ein Grußwort von Bernhard Maaz und der Written Art Collection sowie Essays von Sussan Babaie und Judith Csiki. Ein Gespräch mit der Künstlerin führte Judith Csiki. "Dreams are universal." An air of confidence and vibrancy, but also vulnerability and fragility surround the works of the Iranian artist, photographer, and filmmaker Shirin Neshat (b. Qazvin, 1957; lives and works in New York). Central themes in Neshat's art are identity, origin, and power structures. Her works are defined by a melding and broadening of the rich visual traditions of Persian and Western art. The US-based artist's work is now the subject of the museum's first presentation in association with the Written Art Collection. Neshat's most recent work, Land of Dreams (2019), revolves around Persian calligraphy and Western canon of portraiture and combines for the fist time the media of photography and video in a single work. Combining documentary and fictional elements, it scrutinizes the American dream and its flipsides. The artist conducted interviews with the portrayed, asking them about their dreams, and then integrated summaries in Persian into the photographs together with traditional visual motifs. Interweaving writing, gestural expression, and formal variety achieves a rhythmical poetic density as it gathers individual narratives that reflect universal human experiences. The catalogue accompanying the exhibition puts the focus on the conjunction of writing and image. With a preface by Bernhard Maaz and the Written Art Collection, essays by Sussan Babaie and Judith Csiki, and an interview with the artist by Judith Csiki.

Reliable, Comfortable, and Good-Looking Chair — I Keep Coming Back to It
Color: White
This is my fourth time purchasing this Amazon Basics mid-back office chair, which says a lot about its overall value. It looks clean and modern, fits well in a home office, and is genuinely comfortable for daily use. I typically get about a year and a half out of each one, which feels reasonable given the price point and materials. Out of the box, the chair is easy to assemble and immediately comfortable. The padding is supportive, the armrests are well positioned, and the faux leather gives it a more upscale appearance than many chairs in this category. It rolls smoothly, swivels easily, and works well for long computer sessions without causing back or shoulder fatigue. That said, this is not a lifetime chair. After extended use, the cushioning and structure do begin to wear, and that’s usually when I replace it. Still, considering the comfort, appearance, and cost, it remains one of the best value office chairs I’ve found — which is why I keep buying it again. Pros: • Comfortable padding and good mid-back support • Clean, modern appearance that looks great in an office • Smooth rolling and stable base • Easy assembly • Excellent value for the price Cons: • Durability is moderate; expect replacement after about 1½ years • Not designed for long-term heavy-duty use Verdict: If you want a comfortable, attractive, and affordable office chair that performs well for daily use, this is a strong choice. It may not last forever, but its comfort and value make it easy to recommend — and easy to repurchase.

Good Basic Chair with a Few Drawbacks
Color: Black
I bought this Amazon Basics office task chair for my boyfriend who works from home. Overall, it’s a decent, simple chair that gets the job done for everyday use, especially if you just need something functional and affordable. However, there are a couple of downsides. The recline doesn’t go back as much as he would like, so it’s not ideal if you prefer to lean back and relax between tasks. Also, after about a month of use, the wheels don’t glide as smoothly as they did at first, which can be a bit frustrating when rolling across the floor. Overall, it’s a solid basic chair for light use, but if you want something with a deeper recline or super smooth mobility long-term, you might want to consider other options. Still a reasonable purchase depending on your needs.

Had for just over 9 years now and still pretty solid
Color: Black
I ordered this chair back in December 2015 for our front office, and it's been moved to our back shop where we fabricate. We're not a gentle work space by any stretch of the imagination; we build stuff and it's messy, lots of tools etc. This chair has held up surprisingly well! The faux leather is delaminating almost entirely on the seat but honestly, I'd expect that for faux leather on something that is used daily. The seat pad, in my opinion, has gotten de-poofed. So it's not plush anymore but still usable. I've asked the guy that's using it if they want an upgrade/update and they said they like it and don't want to change it out just yet. That's saying something! The size is nice and wide. We've had a range of differently sized folks sit in the chair over the years and the seat was always comfortable (less now without so much seat poof), I was able to sit cross-legged and the whole chair felt sturdy then as it does now. All of the standards functions you'd want an office chair to do, it can still do: it goes up and down smoothly, it rolls just fine, it's still pivot-reclines comfortably and doesn't feel like it's going to topple. I like it!
