Public Art Fund Talks: Huma Bhabha | The New School

THE NEW SCHOOL | http://www.newschool.edu

This springs Public Art Fund Talks features three artists whose works have reinvented the language of figurative sculpture. Neither literal portraits nor traditional monuments, these works push the expressive potential of sculptural forms and materials and have led to a renewed interest in the figure in contemporary art. The artists are also featured in the upcoming Public Art Fund exhibition Statuesque, opening June 2 at City Hall Park.

The second speaker in the series is Huma Bhabha. Public Art Fund Talks are organized by the Public Art Fund in collaboration with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School.

Huma Bhabha received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA from Columbia University. Born in Pakistan and currently living in Poughkeepsie, Bhabha has had solo exhibitions with Grimm Fine Art, Amsterdam; Galerie Nathalie Obadia, Paris; and Salon 94, New York. Her work has been presented in group exhibitions including the 2010 Whitney Biennial, Every Revolution is a Roll of the Dice at Paula Cooper Gallery in New York, and After-Nature at The New Museum in New York.

"The idea of monument and death is the ultimate raw material of art."
—Huma Bhabha.
