    Remains
    A cura di Nuria Enguita e Lucia Aspesi / 4 Aprile - 15 Settembre 2019
    Sheela Gowda (Bhadravati, Karnataka, India, 1957; vive e lavora a Bangalore) è considerata una delle maggiori esponenti dell’arte contemporanea in India. Dopo gli studi alla Ken School of Art e alla Visva-Bharati University (India), Gowda approfondisce la sua ricerca sulla pittura al Royal College of Art di Londra.
    La sua pratica spazia dal disegno, alla scultura, a installazioni su larga scala e vede l’utilizzo di materiali che spesso veicolano valori culturali legati al contesto da cui provengono. Le sue opere, caratterizzate da una forte valenza plastica, assumono come punto di partenza elementi del modernismo, rielaborati dall’artista attraverso processi di produzione con forti associazioni ritualistiche.
    L’enfasi sul processo è anche legata alle tradizioni artigianali locali e alla dimensione del lavoro implicita nella creazione artistica. La mostra è la prima personale di Sheela Gowda in Italia e, oltre a una nuova produzione, propone opere realizzate dal 1992 a oggi, tra cui acquarelli, stampe e installazioni site-specific. Queste ultime sono contraddistinte da un’ampia varietà di materiali - come capelli, sostanze organiche, escrementi di mucca, incenso e pigmenti naturali - e sono presentate in stretto dialogo con l’iconica architettura delle Navate di Pirelli HangarBicocca.
    Le sue opere sono state esposte in numerose mostre personali presso contesti e istituzioni internazionali, tra cui Ikon Gallery, Birmingham (2017); Pérez Art Museum, Miami, Para Site, Hong Kong (2015); Centre international d’art et du paysage, Vassivière (2014); Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublino, Lunds Konsthall, Lund, Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven [mostra itinerante] (2013-14); Iniva, Londra (2011); Office for Contemporary Art (OCA), Oslo (2010). Sheela Gowda ha inoltre preso parte a importanti rassegne collettive, quali 31ma Biennale di San Paolo (2014); 1a Biennale di Kochi-Muziris (2012); 53ma Biennale di Venezia, 9a Biennale di Sharjah (2009); 9a Biennale di Lione, documenta 12 (2007).

    Sheela Gowda
    Remains
    Curated by Nuria Enguita and Lucia Aspesi / 4 April - 15 September 2019
    Sheela Gowda (Bhadravati, Karnataka, India, 1957; lives and works in Bangalore) is one of the leading names in contemporary art in India. After studying at Ken School of Art and Visva-Bharati University (India), Gowda deepened her research on painting at the Royal College of Art in London. Her work ranges from drawing, to sculpture, to large-scale installation, and involves the use of materials that often convey cultural values linked to the context they stem from. The artist’s works, characterized by a strong spatial dimension, assume elements of Modernism as a starting point, elaborated by the artist via production processes featuring strong ritualistic references. The emphasis on process can also be linked to local traditions of craft and the implicit role of labor in making art.
    This exhibition is Sheela Gowda’s first solo show in Italy and, in addition to a new production, it will present a wide selection of works she has made from 1992 to the present time, including watercolors, prints, and site-specific installations. The latters are distinguished by a large variety of materials-such as hair, organic substances, cow dung, incense, and natural pigments-and will be displayed in connection with the iconic architecture of the Navate at Pirelli HangarBicocca.
    The artist’s works have been exhibited in numerous solo shows in international venues and institutions, including Ikon Gallery, Birmingham (2017); Pérez Art Museum, Miami, Para Site, Hong Kong (2015); Centre international d’art et du paysage, Vassivière (2014); Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, Lunds Konsthall, Lund, Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven [travelling exhibition] (2013-14); Iniva, London (2011), Office for Contemporary Art (OCA), Oslo (2010). Sheela Gowda has also taken part in major group shows, including 31st São Paulo Biennale (2014); 1st Kochi-Muziris Biennale (2012); 53rd Venice Biennale; 9th Sharjah Biennale (2009); 9th Lyon Biennale; documenta 12 (2007).
