Zarina

9/30/12---Join the artist Zarina and curator Allegra Pesenti for a conversation in the galleries of the exhibition Zarina: Paper Like Skin. (1 hour, 12min.)

"Zarina: Paper Like Skin" is the first retrospective of the Indian-born American artist Zarina, featuring approximately 60 works dating from 1961 to the present. Paper is central to Zarina's practice, both as a surface to print on and as a material with its own properties and history. Works in the exhibition include woodcuts as well as three-dimensional casts in paper pulp. Zarina's vocabulary is minimal yet rich in associations with her life and the themes of displacement and exile. The concept of home-whether personal, geographic, national, spiritual, or familial-resonates throughout her oeuvre. Join Zarina and curator of the exhibition, Allegra Pesenti as they speak about Zarina's life, work, and history. (Run time 12 min.)
