Inadequate as they are, subject to modification from time to time, needing correction and supplementation, our
various human languages (verbal and
pictorial, aural or graphic) are both necessary for us and useful to us; they help to make sense of, and they help to give sense to, the richness of experience and the given - ness of the
world as we observe and grasp it.
Noted for his unfixed and non-prescriptive views of geography and identity, imagery and
pictorial strategies, Rana has exhibited at
various public and private institutions, including Mohatta Palace Museum, Karachi; Singapore Art Museum; Hong Kong Art Center; Cornerhouse, Manchester; Musée Guimet, Paris; Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane; Fotomuseum Winterthur; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Saatchi Gallery, London; Lower Belvedere, Vienna; the Asia Society, New York; National Fine Arts Museum, Taichung; House of
World Cultures, Berlin; and Fukuoka Museum of Art.
Bringing together 13 exemplary artists from different generations who deal with the subject of the digital present, the exhibition sheds light on the
pictorial and intellectual
worlds of the digital cosmos from
various perspectives.
