Subodh Gupta
What does the vessel contain, that the river does not
17 May - 27 July, 2013
Hauser&With, London

Following its critically-acclaimed presentation at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, Subodh Gupta’s sculpture ‘What does the vessel contain, that the river does not’ will be on view for the first time outside India at Hauser & Wirth’s Savile Row gallery. Through his use of found, commonplace objects, the New Delhi-based artist explores cultural dislocation prevalent in an era of shifting powers, as well as personal histories. ‘What does the vessel contain, that the river does not’ evokes the conflicting feelings of belonging and displacement, movement and stability, and explores the liminal space between these states of being.
