UW-La Crosse Assistant Professor of Art Binod Shrestha will have an exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts Museum.
Shrestha was a young art student living in Nepal in the early 1990s when he witnessed the country’s revolution firsthand. As part of the student movement, he participated in nonviolent protests against the monarchy. He came to the U.S. in 2002 to study and pursue art.
Shrestha’s art explores the power of violence and the damage it can cause. His installation/sculptures have a strong physical and symbolic presence. The human body is an integral component in Schrestha’s work — the ceramic hands and feet are cast from his own.
In a recent trip back to Nepal, Shrestha recorded testimonies and interviews with those who were injured and had relatives murdered during the country’s civil war. Five plaster casts of his head with closed eyes and open mouths, each of which contains a small screen that plays videos of the interviews.
Shrestha’s exhibit “Remnants and Rumination” opens with a reception at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18, as part of the Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program at the institute, 2400 Third Ave. S. The exhibit, along with work by artist Broc Blegen, runs through Dec. 30. Shrestha gives an artist talk at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15. The exhibition is free.
