This event has ended.

Jack Shainman Gallery announces a solo exhibition of work by Vibha Galhotra. This show will mark Galhotra's first exhibition in New York, and with the gallery. The show includes works made of intricately sewn metal ghungroos, as well as new sculptures which continue to utilize domestic, industrial and natural materials to examine gender and the environment in contemporary society.

Galhotra utilizes both abstract forms and images of the urban metropolis to address the radically shifting topography of India under the impact of globalization and growth. She sees herself as being part of the restructuring of culture, society and geography, not just of a specific region but of the world. Responding to the rapid environmental changes and rezoning of land, Galhotra embodies the dense urbanization and jungles of steel and concrete through unlikely materials to draw attention to the increasing human impact on nature.

Utopia of Difference, Vibha Galhotra"s first monograph, will be published by Jack Shainman Gallery and Gallery Espace to accompany the exhibition.
