Nalini Malani: The Rebellion of the Dead. Retrospective 1969-2018. Part II

The retrospective dedicated to the work of Nalini Malani is divided in two parts, it is the result of a collaboration between the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Turin, and the Centre Pompidou. Malani’s art is rife with political meanings, dealing with issues mainly related to violence, expressed through a range of different media such as drawing, painting, installations and other experimental forms of art.

Both parts of the retrospective present works in non-chronological order to highlight the main topics of Malani’s practice. The pieces on display at Castello di Rivoli draw inspiration from Indian art and Greek mythology, from modern stories of violence and from the writings of authors such as Italo Calvino and Attipat Krishnaswami Ramanujan.
