Solo show of Remen Chopra W. Van Der Vaart

Presented and supported by Gujral Foundation

Remen Chopra W. Van Der Vaart is a multi-disciplinary artist. She creates site-specific works using with varied media such as photography, drawing, sculpture, textiles and sound, to reflect upon personal and familial histories of migration. Her work is a unique assemblage of intimate moments, poetry and personal objects that were passed on matrilineally, from one generationto the other. She would like to explore the cartography of memory and hownon-linear narratives are fabricated out of scattered fragments. The artist recalls family stories of Tehran, Rawalpindi and Shimla, as narrated to her by her grandmother. The artist would like to map the history of these spaces and the long journey to locate the memories evoked by found objects and by embroidery. Through new bylanes using multi-layered artworks that willexplore the idea of the feminine as both earth and home.

Solo show of ZHANG Yunyao, Drawing Room

Curated by Hervé Mikaeloff

Chinese artist Zhang Yunyao will present a special project Drawing Room at this year’s Asia Now. Curated by Hervé Mikaeloff, this project is a key chapter of the artist’s first European solo exhibition opening during the same time at a brand new gallery in Paris, Galerie Marguo. Drawing Room,a phrase that means both a historical living room and a room of drawings,features a series of brightly coloured felt paintings and paper drawings created during confinement in Paris this year. With references to classicalphotography and art history, this body of work is rich with symbolism as theartist’s attempt to blur sense of time and create a utopian atmosphere in the time of crisis.
