Anomalies, curated by Indian artist Jaishri Abichandani who lives in New York, differs from other recent exhibitions that have attempted to define Indian or South Asian art. It includes the work of 14 South Asian women artists, most of whom were born or live in the UK or US, and consequently their work occupies a complex position rooted in familiar urban aesthetics while referencing multiple visual traditions. Arriving from disparate points of origin, the work in this exhibition is representational, and examines the intersections of human nature, human interaction with nature, and science fiction. |
