In both the six sculptures from the mid-1990s, and the six new drawings created for the exhibition Players, Huma Bhabha reinvents the human head, deconstructing and reconstructing an archetype in which she gathers and transforms various art-historical typologies. From masks, technological portraits of archaic beings, to drawings, which mark a return to an expressionistic mode of depiction of fantasmal faces, Bhabha seeks inspiration from very different sources, tribal art, science-fiction, combining them to arrive at a new kind of figuration and constructing the human face as a site in which all the possibilities of the expressive can be played out.

Saturday 25 February 2012, at 6.00pm, and together with the presentation of the exhibition Are We Still Going On? by Kaarina Kaikkonen.

February 25 to April 15, 2012. For more information, visit the Maramotti Collection: http://www.collezionemaramotti.org/it/Home-Page
