Hauser & Wirth Somerset is pleased to present ‘A Wonderful Anarchy’, an exhibition of new work by Bharti Kher, following her three-month residency with the gallery in 2017. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Somerset and marks a return to the most elemental themes within her practice. Kher, who works across a multitude of forms, will present a body of sculpture, installation and paintings. In the process of transforming found objects, and continually experimenting with materials, she layers references: to the mythological and scientific, secular and ritualistic, physical and psychological. At the centre of all works is the abstraction of shape and confluence of time in a provocative meeting of materials.
Kher will be the first artist to continue a residency in conjunction with their exhibition, remaining in Somerset until December. A newly commissioned film based on the artist’s practice will be screened along side the show.
