    Abstract

    This volume involved series of in-depth discussions with the artist and curator over a 3 month period. The essay sought to counter readings of Gowda's work, that often focus on its abstract elements, and reframe this apparent abstraction as a seismic yet imprecise measure of lasting social and political change, arguing, in turn, that the materials used in the work ? despite their allusions to Minimalist sculpture ? underwrites Gowda?s non-didactic, open displays of repurposed material and allusive forms. This monograph essay also gave context to the larger exhibition catalogue for the Fondazione Pirelli HangarBicocca, Milan, and set out to provide an extended critical engagement with an eminent artist while also situate readers within a complex and challenging body of under-researched work.
