Subodh Gupta
MMK - Museum fur Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt
Everything is Inside. Gupta is most well known for his large-scale sculptural works consisting of or relating to everyday objects: stainless steel dishes of the kind commonly used in India, pans, milking buckets, bicycles, shopping carts, etc. serve him as materials and 'building blocks' with which he creates megastructures characterized by striking semantics.
The exhibition will be the first major solo presentation of the Indian artist Subodh Gupta in Europe. At the MMK, Gupta will present new and already existing works on the museum’s entire first level.
Subodh Gupta (born in Khagaul, India in 1964) lives and works in New Delhi. From 1983 to 1988 he studied painting at the College of Art in Patna; meanwhile he works primarily in the sculpture, photography, installation, video and performance media. Gupta is most well known for his large-scale sculptural works consisting of or relating to everyday objects: stainless steel dishes of the kind commonly used in India, pans, milking buckets, bicycles, shopping carts, etc. serve him as materials and “building blocks” with which he creates megastructures characterized by striking semantics. The themes of cooking and eating often echo in these works, and are also encountered in his performative pieces. Gupta is interested in cooking and eating as manifestos of daily cultural practice but also as symbols of essentiality and existence. His works contain recurring allusions to socio-economic developments in his native country India and developments in the global economy as well as episodic references to his own biography.
