Lumen, a survey of the four-decade career of British-Indian artist
Sutapa Biswas, accompanies two solo exhibitions of the artist's
work held in 2021-22. Biswas emigrated from India to the UK with
her family in the 1960s. Taking the long histories of colonialism
together with personal memories, Biswas's art meditates on
questions of migration, identity and belonging. Her practice has
consistently interrogated Western tradition and discourse, pushing
past absences, exclusions and limited representations to make
evident the entwined histories of culture and politics. This
publication details Biswas's career from its origins in the Black
Arts Movement in the 1980s to her important photographic
installations of the 1990s and her subsequent major moving-image
works, including her newly commissioned film Lumen. The first
substantial publication on the artist in over 17 years, it features
two new conversations with the artist and two commissioned essays.
It also includes a republication of Griselda Pollock's important
text on Biswas's work, along with a postface reflecting on their
relationship in the decades since the essay's original publication.
Published on the occasion of the exhibition: Sutapa Biswas: Lumen
BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead (26 June 2021-22
March 2022) and Kettle's Yard, University of Cambridge (16 October
2021-30 January 2022).
