Hamra Abbas: Wall Hanging INOVEMBER 2013-APRIL 2014 | NEW WING FAÇADE

Hamra Abbas’s art installation on the front of the Gardner Museum shows the spectacular silk and gold curtain (kiswa) that covers the door of the Kaaba in Mecca, Islam’s holiest and most venerated site. The artist was inspired by a small plaster cast of this object displayed in her mother’s house in Lahore, Pakistan. Creating a version of this quintessential Islamic image for her adopted city of Boston, the artist seeks to diffuse the prevailing tension between East and West by bringing visitors in contact with the unfamiliar through visual art.

Subodh Gupta

Everything is Inside

National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi

17 January–16 March 2014

Curated by Germano Celant

He creates a lasting testament, capable of withstanding time. Rendering the ephemerality of life as magical and unchanging, he reintegrates it into the spiritual world of art, the daily duties of cooking, or providing food for the family or comm unity

Jitish Kallat: Epilogue

September 6, 2013 through April 20, 2014 Kallat focuses on universal themes of birth, death, survival—what he calls the “endless narratives of human struggle.” He is based in Mumbai, and much of his work has been inspired by the chaotic urban streets he navigates daily. In Epilogue, however, he stepped back from the noise to pay respect to his father, with whom he undoubtedly shared many roti around the family table. Kallat reminds viewers of life’s natural ebb and flow and of the things that nourish us—bread, the staff of life; family; celestial rhythms.
