A solo exhibition of installations, objects and drawings by Mahbubur Rahman will begin at Bengal Art Lounge on 11 April at 6:00pm.

Titled ‘Dust to Dust (2010-2015)’ is conceived as an illustration of the artist's cross-media approach. From charcoal drawings to complex installations with fabricated objects mixing sound and light, the exhibition opens a window on Rahman's ambitious experimentation.

Part new exhibition, part retrospective, the show blends previously unseen artworks with selected pieces that have been exhibited on rare occasions.

It is the first time, for instance, a major installation created for the Venice Biennale in 2011, will be on display in Bangladesh. The tension between the aspirations of the self and the norms enforced by religion, or the duality of power and oppression in the post-colonial context of South Asia, are among the questions hinted at in this exhibition.

Mahbubur Rahman's 25 years of creative practice have established him as one of Bangladesh's most challenging artists.

The exhibition will go on till 2 May from 12:00 noon to 8:00pm.
