Sundaram Tagore Gallery, exhibits "A Moment to Consider," September 8–October 8. Works by ANILA QUAYYUM AGHA.

Please join Sundaram and Anila Quayyum Agha for a dazzling, immersive experience at the Chelsea gallery during the opening of A Moment to Consider, on view September 8–October 8.
 
Work by the award-winning Pakistani-American artist, who was recently profiled in The New York Times, has been the subject of eight solo museum shows since 2019. More than a dozen more museum exhibitions are slated. 

For this exhibition, Agha reimagines ornamental patterns from history in metal, resin and paper using traditional and contemporary techniques of craft. The work—which includes a large-scale light installation that envelops viewers in light and shadow—pays homage to artists and craftspeople who historically have gone unrecognized and unnamed despite the importance of their artistic output. This is Agha’s first solo exhibition at Sundaram Tagore Chelsea.

ABOUT ANILA QUAYYUM AGHA

Anila Quayyum Agha works in a cross-disciplinary fashion with mixed media. She is internationally recognized for her award-winning large-scale light installations that use light and pattern to create immersive shared experiences and inclusive spaces. “In a world where difference and divergence dominate most conversations about the intersection of cultures, my artwork explores the harmonies without ignoring the shadows, ambiguities and dark spaces between them,” she says.
 
Major awards include the 2019 Painters and Sculptors Grant from the Joan Mitchell Foundation and the 2021 SARF (Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship). In 2019, Agha’s work was included in She Persists at the Venice Biennale.

Hiroshi Senju at the Sundaram Tagore Gallery through January 13th

 

CLICK HERE FOR A VIDEO OF THE ARTIST AT WORK


Thanks to overwhelming response, Hiroshi Senju: At World’s End will remain on view through January 13 at our Chelsea and Madison Avenue locations.

Noted worldwide for his sublime waterfall and cliff images, Hiroshi Senju mixes traditional Japanese materials and Western visual language. For this show, the artist explores ethereal, abstracted landscapes that expand on his cliff paintings, a series he began in 2007. Debuting alongside the cliffs are cosmos-inspired landscapes—luminous frontiers that transcend earthly boundaries.

This exhibition caps an eventful year for the artist: His work is currently on view at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and was prominently featured in the Japanese gallery at the Metropolitan Museum of Art this past spring. He was also honored with the Isamu Noguchi Award and a large public commission to produce forty-two screens for the Kongōbu-ji Buddhist temple at Mount Koya in Japan.

Hiroshi Senju’s work is in The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Brooklyn Museum, New York; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri; the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto; the Museum of Modern Art, Toyama, Japan; the Yamatane Museum of Art, Tokyo; Tokyo University of the Arts; and the Kushiro Art Museum, Hokkaido. The Hiroshi Senju Museum Karuizawa in Japan opened in 2011.

Accompanying this exhibition is a forty-eight–page catalogue with an essay by Akiko Miki, international artistic director of Benesse Art Site Naoshima and co-director (artistic) for the Yokohama Triennale 2017.
