Slim catalogue accompanying Naeem Mohaiemen's solo exhibition at Cue Art Foundation, New York, September to October 2009. Naeem Mohaiemen is a Bengladeshi writer and artist working in Dhaka and New York City. He uses text, photo, video and archives to explore histories of the international left, utopia/dystopia slippage, post-partition South Asia, and globally interlinked security panic. For 'Live True Life or Die Trying', he presents a multimedia installation that features two sets of photographs depicting two rallies in Dhaka, one labelled 'Islamist' and the other 'Leftist', that took place on the same day. The artist's and contributors' biographies are included.
