Anita Dube: Recent Works

Bose Pacia

Indian artist and critic Dube’s dark DIY aesthetic underlines strangeness, impermanence and violence in the everyday. Her conceptual investigations begin in a photograph series showing words formed with raw meat, expressing dissent on private terms. A large candle installation forming the word “void” questions strategies for organizing and controlling reality, and a room of household objects covered in camouflage fabric articulates the show’s otherwise implicit theme: the personal is political. Closes 6/28.

This review will appear in the June 4 issue of The L Magazine.
