Pilar Corrias Gallery London: Shahzia Sikander solo exhibition
Solo exhibition Shahzia Sikander: Indo-Persian miniature painting radically re-interpreted
Indo-Persian miniature painting meets avant-garde - Pakistani-born Shahzia Sikander recontextualizes the tradition-rich art of painting and shows this in the entire range from drawings to animations to installations. Pilar Corrias Gallery in London, which represents her, is dedicating a solo show to her from October 12 to November 12, 2021.
October 11, 2021
The contemporary gallery Pilar Corrias in London presents a solo exhibition of the artist Shahzia Sikander from October 12 to November 13, 2021. It will take place in the original exhibition space, on Eastcastle Street in the London neighborhood of Fitzrovia. On display will be paintings, drawings, animations, and mosaics, and thus the full range of the artist's diverse oeuvre. Shahzia Sikander is known for infusing Central and South Asian pre-modernist writing practices with avant-garde disruption, deconstructing archetypal narratives about femininity, ethnicity, memory and migration.
Shahzia Sikander was born in 1969 in Lahore, Pakistan - she now lives and works in New York. She learned miniaturism at the National College of Arts in Lahore and developed an experimental approach to the radical reinterpretation of her very own miniature paintings. Meanwhile, her portfolio includes paintings, drawings, animations, installations, and video and film art. In all media, elements of her recontextualization of Indo-Persian miniature painting can be found.

EMOP in Berlin
Photography beyond its boundaries
The EMOP, the European Month of Photography, has just begun in Berlin. It is the largest biennial festival of photography in Germany. The comprehensive exhibition program includes more than 100 contributions, and numerous other galleries are taking the EMOP as an opportunity to dedicate their current shows to photography. With so much to discover, we would like, of course, to draw your attention to our own exhibition, Grenzgänge, as well as The New You-We-Me by the Verein Berliner Künstler, which includes works by our esteemed artist Corinna Rosteck. Both group shows explore boundaries through the medium of photography, however both in very different ways.
