Outdoor Commissions
The Foundation is pleased to announce a three-year partnership with the Hayward Gallery for a series of new outdoor art commissions. Aimed at providing artists from or inspired by Asia and its diaspora with the opportunity to create a prominent public commission, this new initiative is the latest addition to a growing programme of outdoor art installations and exhibitions across the Southbank Centre’s iconic site.
The first commission launches in August 2021 with a large-scale installation by collective Slavs and Tatars. Read more about the partnership here.
Exhibitions
CFGNY: Collecting Dissonance
Auto Italia, 21 May - 22 August 2021
The Bagri Foundation has supported Collecting Dissonance, a newly commissioned exhibition of sculpture, image and garment works by the New York collective and label CFGNY.
The exhibition takes a new capsule collection of garments as its starting point. The clothes explore how personal and collective intimacies, relationships and agencies have been reshaped by the restrictions and instability caused by the ongoing pandemic, and the consequent heightening of power differentials along the lines of class and race.
