Record Keeping. The work reflects this through Dhaliwal's use of abstract and material symbols (such as turbans, coal, ash, spices and stones). The work combines storytelling, painting and textile installations with print, media and video, resulting in a vibrant, lush and exotic exhibition that is both visually compelling and poetically evocative.
'Record Keeping'
OVA exhibition in association with John Hansard Gallery and Agnes Etherington Arts Centre
The John Hansard Gallery is proud to present the first showing of Record Keeping, an international touring exhibition by the Toronto-based visual artist Sarindar Dhaliwal. This is her first solo exhibition in the UK, and surveys the artist’s work over the last fifteen years.
Sarindar Dhaliwal was born in Punjab and educated in England. She draws on her complex cultural background to make sense of her personal here and now. The work reflects this through Dhaliwal’s use of abstract and material symbols (such as turbans, coal, ash, spices and stones). The work combines storytelling, painting and textile installations with print, media and video, resulting in a vibrant, lush and exotic exhibition that is both visually compelling and poetically evocative.
Record Keeping was curated and organised by OVAâ„¢ in collaboration with the John Hansard Gallery and Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Ontario. An audiovisual DVD piece made about the artist and her work supports this exhibition and it is intended that a catalogue will be published to coincide with its tour.
