The Imaginary Order of Things. Sculptures, installations, videos and paintings
The first individual exhibition in Spain on Subodh Gupta, entitled The Imaginary Order of Things. Curated by Fernando Frances, it includes three previously unexhibited works that have travelled from India for this event. Gupta's sculptures, installations, videos and paintings are characterised by their representation and use of everyday items used by Indian families, but presented in a different context and with different functions that are remote from the stereotypes of India. His work represents the union of the urban and rural worlds and the spiritual and material ones through its evocation of the phenomenon of families migrating from poorer areas to more developed ones and the idea of tradition and religious rituals. Gupta uses a wide variety of elements and materials in his work, which is generally on a very large scale. The artist has lived and worked in New Delhi since 1990. The exhibition, which includes 19 pieces, is one of the series of events organised to mark the 10th anniversary of the CAC Malaga (2003-2013).
