Reena Saini Kallat
Deep Rivers Run Quiet
Reena Saini Kallat is a highly regarded contemporary artist from India, born in 1973 in Delhi. She creates multimedia artworks that focus on national and geographical boundaries, geopolitical border conflicts, and their effects on people and environments. Her works often juxtapose separation and connection to create ambiguity. Kallat’s works explore the significance of rivers as both boundaries and lifelines.
Her exhibition at Kunstmuseum Thun in Switzerland features works that enter into a dialogue with the nearby River Aare. The exhibition marks her first solo show in Switzerland.
