Our first new show after lockdown invites Chila Kumari Singh Burman into the space for a solo exhibition
About
OUTPUT gallery is excited to resume its 2020 programme after lockdown with a solo exhibition by Chila Kumari Singh Burman (b. 1957, Liverpool, England). For her show at OUTPUT, Burman will be exhibiting a showreel of three moving image works. These include her latest video made during quarantine in collaboration with Susanne Dietz titled ‘Armour (2020)’ alongside ‘Dada and The Punjabi Princess (2017)’ and ‘Candy Pop and Juicy Lucy (2008).’ Burman’s practice spans across form and media and she writes that her approach to subjects is grounded in ‘a tradition of graphic political satire, generated from an adversarial position within the gender and identity politics of a post-colonial, class-oriented, and visually saturated contemporary Britain.’
The artist first studied at Southport College of Art and Design before going onto complete a BA in Printmaking at Leeds and an MA from the Slade School of Art. Burman now lives and works in London, where she also has this year’s upcoming Winter Commission to transform Tate Britain’s facade.
Note about COVID-19:
We do not have an evening exhibition opening in order to reduce social contact, and we know that most visitors to the gallery come alone or in small groups and we would ask that this continue. Please wear a mask if you are visiting or purchase one from Total Recall Vintage - the shop at the front of the space.
As some of our usual audience members will still be shielding, we will be releasing a podcast series of interviews with solo exhibitors that discusses their exhibition and wider art practice. We hope this will help you engage with the work from a distance.
