About Bharti Kher Bharti Kher works with a diverse range of media -- from digital photography to sculpture and installation to painting. Her work interrogates the relationship between the 'traditional' and the 'modern' addressing issues of identity, race, class, feminism and consumerism. The bindi has come to be a central motif in Kher's work transcending its decorative and religious implications to become a powerful stylistic and symbolic device that allows a multiplicity of meaning. Kher's recent exhibitions include solo exhibitions at Hauser and Wirth, London (2010), Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead and
 Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, Paris (2008). In 2010 her work featured in major group exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 'Tokyo Art Meeting. Transformation', Tokyo, Kunstmuseum Luzern, Lucerne and the Kunstmuseum Thun. Her work has previously been shown at Casa Asia in 'Indian Narrative in the 21st Century: Between Memory History', Madrid (2009), Indian Highway, curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Julia Peyton-Jones and Gunnar B Kvaran which was first presented at the Serpentine Gallery 2008, then at The Astrup Fearnley Museum, Oslo (2009) and the Herning Kunstmuseum, Denmark (2010) and the Chalo !India traveling exhibition which has been shown at the Essl Museum, Klosterneuburg, National Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul (2009) and the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo (2008). www.lalitkalachandigarh.com clka@lalitkalachandigarh.com
