Mithu Sen: mOTHERTONGUE

Published on the occasion of Mithu Sen’s major solo exhibition, Mithu Sen: mOTHERTONGUE, the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) is excited to present a monograph that celebrates the work and career of one of India’s most renowned contemporary artists.

Surveying the past two decades of Mithu Sen’s compelling art practice, including a series of new commissions, the installation of mOTHERTONGUE is presented as an illuminated mind-map; a constellation of image and word associations which move between visible surfaces and interior states.  

Featuring full-colour documentation of all the works in the exhibition, the catalogue includes a curatorial essay by Max Delany alongside newly commissioned essays by Nancy Adajania, Nikos Papastergiadis and Laura Raicovich.

Publication has been produced with the generous support of Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, New Delhi; Chemould Prescott Road, Mumbai; Galerie Krinzinger, Vienna; and Dr Terry Wu and Dr Melinda Tee.
