Chitra Ganesh "On-site: Her Silhouette Returns"
MOMA PS1
This event has ended.
P.S.1's second incarnation of the "On-site" wall installation series: Her Silhouette Returns (2009), by artist Chitra Ganesh. Ganesh is known for her expansive visual vocabulary that often references Bollywood films, comics/graphic novels, and iconic feminist imagery. For her latest installation at P.S.1, she channels the glam rock and kitsch aesthetics of the 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show while drawing inspiration from Alan Moore's graphic novel Watchmen, focusing on the character The Silhouette who is murdered for coming out as a lesbian. Please see the attached press release and image.
