Date: From 09 October 2009 to 29 November 2009
One of India’s most prominent artists Nalini Malani – who has gained an international reputation for her brilliantly layered media installations – is presenting her work at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery from October 2009.
Nalini Malani is a pioneer of experimental art in India. Her works are experientially powerful and informed by astute political and historical observation. Malani manipulates drawing, video, projection, performance, voice, text, installation, movement, painting and shadow plays to conjure emotional, narrative and sensual worlds.
Exhibition curator and Govett-Brewster Art Gallery Director Rhana Devenport says Malani is committed to the role of the artist as social activist. She often bases her work on the stories of those who have been ignored, forgotten or marginalised by history. Her art goes beyond the boundaries of conventional forms and narratives to initiate new dialogues. Painting and drawing remain fundamental to Nalini Malani’s practice.
