The World in Contemporary Islamic Art (via bbc) 18 May – 2 Sept; at the British Museum in London.
Among the exhibitors are The Iraqi calligrapher Hassan Massoudy Iranian photographers: Shadi Ghadirian and Malekeh Nayini and artists Farhad Moshiri and
Khosrow Hassanzadeh The Egyptian artist Sabah Naim The Palestinian artist Laila Shawa and the Saudi Arabian X-ray artist Fahad Mater-al-Ziad (pdf) If, like me you can’t get to see the real thing maybe these will help. Enjoy.
[While we're at it, El Shaarani's calligraphy work is also A+ outstanding ]
Thanks for this post.

Hassan Massoudy is my favourite, that's the first time Arabic calligraphy really grabs me.
