Artist(s): Hetain PATEL
Date: 9 Feb - 3 Mar 2012
Hetain Patel is a UK-based artist whose practice, spanning a number of different media, is often performative in nature. Whilst identity formation has been central to his concerns since the beginning of his career, more recently this idea has been seen through the lens of imitation, in particular through language and physical movement. Increasingly Hetain's work is populated by characters, both fictional and real, in relation to which the artist juxtaposes himself in moments of elision and dissonance.
For his first solo show in India, the artist will be showing a number of major new works, including single and multi-channel video work and photographic prints. The exhibition will be presented in two parts in order to show the full breadth of Hetain's practice.
