Based in New Delhi, Subdoh Gupta is best known for incorporating everyday objects ubiquitous throughout India in his body of work, which includes sculpture, installation, painting, performance and video. Thali pans, stainless steel tiffin boxes, milk pails and cooking equipment are just a part of the wide assortment of ordinary items Gupta appropriates in his consideration of Indias wild economic growth and burgeoning materialism, yet these also relate to his own memories and childhood. In the creative process, the objects meaning and function are dissolved, transforming them into artworks that are globally legible while expressing the dichotomy of order and chaos coexistent today.

Ruff's most recent series, entitled MA.R.S., is a combination of the visual data obtained during explorations of Mars and the technological sophistication achieved in images on interplanetary space. As with all of these series on cosmic space, Ruff initially had to sift through a vast body of material that required a certain level of expertise to be able to select and thus interpret what is being seen through the images obtained. The series MA.R.S., is offering a low-level aerial survey of the surface of Mars, using colour filters that create a tenuous glow and thus convert the planet's arid surface into that 'promise of happiness' which should be associated with everything related to beauty, according to Stendhal. Essay by Francisco Calvo Serraller.

Kara Walker is among the most complex and prolific American artists of her generation. Over the past decade, she has gained international recognition for her room-sized tableaux, which depict historical narratives haunted by sexuality, violence and subjugation and are made of cut-paper silhouettes. She has an extremely realistic approach to society and the human race, and the core of her work are racism, apartheid, exploitation, gender issues, social injustice, slavery and the horrors that it created. Texts by Hilton Als and Francisco Calvo Serraller

Kara Walker - The Black Road

Kara Walker

Difficult to classify this artists production into any particular movement, though German Expressionism is perhaps his main source of inspiration: his works are dominated not only by the horrors of war and general discontent but also by recent art history in the immediate environment provided by Germany, by Viennese Actionism and by the Neo-Expressionism of Baselitz and Kiefer. This exhibition catalogue features a selection of paintings, collages, sculptures and ceramics seen for the first time. Introductory text by Fermando Francés and an essay by Fernando Castro Flórez.

Employing video, film, slide projections, photography and sculpture, Starlings work reveals rich, unexpected and complex histories, brought to light through his forensic if sometimes elliptical unravelling of an image, object or event. Continuing his interest in mining, excavation and geology, Starling has produced a new work for this exhibition drawing on recent research into the Cornish china clay mines, emphasizing the contemporary use of china clay in the paper industry as a glossy coating for fine papers. Introductory essay by Montse Badia.
