Indian Country, an exhibition by artist Karthik Pandian at Michael Strogoff brings together works from the artist’s oeuvre that find both kinship and conflict between anthropology and minimalism. Reversing commonly held assumptions about the two discourses, the moving image, sculpture, sound and photographic works in the exhibition explore the formal rhetoric of ethnography and the affective potential of a reductivist aesthetic. This exhibition marks the first US presentation of Pandian’s film, Sacrifice of the Banana, originally commissioned by Triple Canopy in 2010. Special thanks to Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Chicago.
