In Conversation: Mithu Sen

Friday, May 9th 6-8pm @ Asian American Writers Workshop

112 W 27th St #600, New York, NY 10001

 

RSVP required: info@plus91foundation.org

 

Please join Plus 91 Foundation and the South Asian Women's Creative Collective for an artist talk with Mithu Sen followed by a Q&A with the artist.

 

Mithu Sen is an internationally recognized multi-media artist who uses unconventional materials in her drawings, sculpture and site and time specific installations. Her manipulation of found materials combined with her morbidly playful work generates unusual and provocative associations around the subjects of gender, domesticity, sexuality, and kitsch.

 

Sen's first solo US museum exhibition, Mithu Sen: Border Unseen is on display at the Eli and Edythe Broad Museum (April 25-Aug 21, 2014) curated by Karin Zitzewitz.

+91 Initiative with

 

Our inaugural +91 Initiative will be held in conjunction with Performa 13 in New York City from Nov. 1 – 24.

 

For the first time since its founding, prominent South Asian artists will be represented at the Performa biennial. +91 Foundation was invited to collaborate with Performa 13 to reveal two commissioned works by Subodh Gupta & Raqs Media Collective.

 

RAQS MEDIA COLLECTIVE

With The Last International, Raqs Media Collective's performance, the New Delhi-based artists articulate a new aesthetic of political debates turning manifestos, programs, list and charts into poetry and creating a live environment of video, installation, and performance.

 

SUBODH GUPTA

Known for his paintings and sculptures of everyday objects, such as steel Tiffin boxes, thalis, bicycles, and milk pails, Subodh Gupta's performance Celebration will focus on the ritualistic aspect of a feast. Gupta will prepare and host a meal for visitors breaking barriers found across culture, race, religion, and tradition.

 

Transparent Studio

 

From January 2012 - July 2013, we were fostering an atmosphere of engagement and conversation around the creative process by transitioning our ground level gallery space into a temporary artist studio in an active arts neighborhood in DUMBO, Brooklyn. The public was invited to stop in throughout the duration of the program to interact with the artist about their process. Each project space term culminated in an evening with the artist that coincided with the monthly Dumbo First Thursday event. The program was open to emerging and mid-career artists working in all media practices. We encouraged innovative and experimental project proposals.

Please check back later for updated information on eligibility and application for 2014-2015.
