Max Protetch Gallery hosts "Murder In Tehran", a powerful exhibition of new work by Siah Armajani. The installation by the Iranian born artist was created as an answer to the 2009 Iranian presidential elections. It combines architectural and sculpture elements with drawings and text.
A glass and wood structure with a suspended manequin evoke the brutal murder of Neda.
