Ananda’s processed-based sculpture investigates cause and effect with a touch of exaggerated physicality, anchored by the comic, and an abiding interest in the visual language of pop culture. Channelling such influences as science fiction, slapstick cartoons, and the bizarre geometry of imagined alien cities, Ananda’s art celebrates fandom and blurs the boundaries between ‘high’ and ‘low’ art.
In recognition of the importance that process plays in Ananda’s art, visitors to the Museum will witness the development and installation of the site-specific commission’s final form, over three weeks, before joining the artist to celebrate the unveiling and presentation of the completed work.
