Well perhaps that post title is a bit of an overstatement, but live from bagdad here is the first open, contemporary art gallery in that "liberated" city. The journo/blooger back-to-iraq writes it up, with an additional photo section he created here.

I will with hold my usual snark on the art itself due to the fact that, from my comfortable, a/c'ed, non-blowing-up studio/office armchair it would be really hard to crit. any artistic endevor that has been approached in bagdad over the last year or so. I am, pretty much, totally in awe of them.
