Vivan Sundaram’s Sculptural Garments
Vivan Sundaram is one of India’s most prolific artists and active political voices. His ecelectic artistic practice spans from painting to engaging with everything from readymades, photographs, videos and sculptural installation. The works shown here are from Sundaram’s witty and subversive series Gagawaka: Making Strange which represents the artist’s own fictional brand and line of “strange” haute couture with highly inventive garments fabricated out of foam cups, surgical masks, x-ray-film, hospital bandages, foil pill wrappings, and more.
