Huma Bhabha - Salon 94 2015
Rare catalogue of Huma Bhabha’s third exhibition at Salon 94, New York, 2015.
In each installation, Bhabha has drawn from an expansive trove of references that cross genres, centuries, continents and mediums. Her inspirations are non-hierarchical, coming as much from popular horror movies and science fiction as from ancient artifacts, religious reliquary, Modernist sculpture and German neo-expressionism. The work can be read as an encyclopedic memory that maps, retraces, and re-imagines cultural history as an active interplay between decay and renewal.
