About

Persepolis 2530 revisits the site of an infamous week-long party held in 1971 by the Shah of Iran amongst the ruins of the ancient Persian city of Persepolis. Reconstructing part of the temporary architecture built for the celebrations (itself now a ruin) Stevenson looks at this pivotal moment in Iranian history that led towards the subsequent cultural revolution.

The exhibition also includes Andy Warhol's portrait: Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi (Shah of Iran), screenprint, c. 1978. Courtesy, the Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh.
