Scope and Contents

Amir Naderi

"Exhibition by Iranian Artist Amir Naderi, titled ""New York City Walls 1990s"".

First fifteen minutes of footage include many pans and zooms of the exhibited artwork. Some shots are repetitive, seems as if it is the raw footage for a short video on the exhibit.

It features some shots of the author himself, as he is working on some final touches.

At 14:34 we get shots of the opening reception, foot, drinks, students and faculty who tell the cameraman to not shoot them. The artist talking with guests and with Hamid Naficy. Some first conversations are in Farsi; the majority areare in English.

At 1:08:46 the cameraman follows people as they enter the cinema for a talk with the artist.

At 1:14:38 we are back in the gallery space where the artist speaks with the guests. We also see Brian Huberman with a camera."
