Last chance to see a solo installation of recent terracotta sculptures by #HumaBhabha, on view at Fundación @CasaWabi in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca through December 26. The works included in the installation were made by the artist during a three-week residency at Fundación Casa Wabi earlier this year. In a text written by curator Nicholas Baume (@NicholasBaume), he compares the references in Bhabha’s installation to ancient Egyptian iconography, from regally seated pharaohs and deities with animal attributes: “More often than not, Ancient Egyptian art and architecture relates in some way to the subject of death, as does Bhabha’s. That much is instantly clear in this installation, in which an array of distressed and exploded body parts is assembled on a series of plinths, perhaps suggesting corpses from an archaeological dig on an alien planet. These dismembered figures comprise an other-worldly cast of characters: giants, humanoids, extra-terrestrials—not us, but enough like us to stir recognition."
