Amar Kanwar

Meet Amar Kanwar, whose video installation The Torn First Pages (2004–08) is included both in The Deutsche Bank Series at the Guggenheim: Being Singular Plural and in the Guggenheim Museum’s permanent collection. Kanwar’s politically astute films and videos, which he has made for the past twenty years, are fragmented narratives of violence, displacement, and resistance told through lyrical, compassionate images and texts. In confronting the geopolitical situation of Burma under its recent military dictatorship, Kanwar offers hope, relayed through the lives of numerous artists, students, activists, poets, monks, and exiles involved in this resistance movement. A reception and exhibition viewing follow. $10, $7 members, free for students with a valid ID.
