Bharti Kher, "The hot winds that blow from the West”

The home as woman’s domain, fraught with the vicissitudes of sexual and economic inequality, is the theme of this London-based Indian artist. For her first show with this gallery, Kher presents a series of installations built out of common household elements. Among the highlights is a massive staircase that goes nowhere, splashed with red paint and covered with something of a signature element for the artist: bindis, the iconic markings for Indian women, rendered in the shape of sperm.
