About the work
“…But I’m a million different people
From one day to the next…”
About the artist:
Born 1962 Karachi, Huma Bhaba lives and works in Poughkeepsie. Graduated from BFA Rhode Island School of Design, Providence (1985); and MFA Columbia University, New York (1989).
Bhabha is a sculptor first and foremost. Her poetic assemblages are born out of tactile materials such as Styrofoam, air-dried clay, wire, cork and scraps of construction material. Often referred to as ‘post- apocalyptic’ in their aesthetic, these works combine figuration with abstract architectural elements and a sense of landscape.
Her works are held in public and private collections including Tate, London; The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Maramotti Collection, Reggio Emilia; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; The David Roberts Art Foundation, London; Saatchi Gallery, London; The Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; and Hammer Museum, Los Angeles.
Select solo exhibitions include They Live, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (2019); Other Forms of Life, The Contemporary, Austin (2018-19); We Come in Peace, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2018); Study #16. What is Love, David Roberts Art Foundation, London (2017); Unnatural Histories, MoMA PS1, New York (2012-13); Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia (2012); and Aspen Art Museum (2011).
