Courtesy the artist and Pirelli HangarBicocca In the Cubo, the only space with natural light, Gowda has placed three works in dialogue. A new work, In Pursuit of (2019), presents two giant black squares constructed from around 15 kilometres of rope, woven from human hair and hung against the walls, echoing the stern geometry of the environment, while also paying homage to the Hindu tradition of sacrificing hair to the gods. Black Square (2014), a small work made of natural black rubber from the Amazon and black paint, framed, is an overt reference to Malevich. And inches from the floor on rows of low metal tables, Gowda has laid out Collateral (2007) a landscape of shapes made from incense burned the opening evening of the exhibition. The air is thick still with scent, but also with the multiplying resonances of the materials and forms of Gowda’s work. ‘Sheela Gowda: Remains’ is at the Pirelli HangarBicocca , Milan, until 15 September.
