Join us for a virtual studio visit with artist Madhvi Subrahmanian. Madhvi will share current projects and discuss her inspirations and working methods in a conversation with attendees.
Madhvi’s practice, explores the performative intersection between sculpture and installation and is informed by her consistent engagement with the sensuous materiality of clay. Madhvi’s focus predicates the possibilities and challenges of meditative multiples and immersive installations, through which she contemplates the ever-changing concepts of space and place.
