This book attempts to highlight both Gowda's poetic and political practices, grounded on a thoughtful and perceptive view of the world, accompanied by an awareness of the symbolic and communicative value of matter, objects and their remains.
This selection of artworks also conveys her engagement with the process of defining form as a way of transforming meaning.
This is the catalogue of the exhibition 'Remains', co-organized by Pirelli HangarBincocca (Milan) and Bombas Gens Centre d'Art
(Valencia), that showcases more than twenty years of Sheela Gowda's artistic production. Remains, the artist's first solo exhibition in Valencia, brings together installations and sculptures as well as a selection of works based on images, ranging from different periods.
