This exhibition catalog shows large groups of work by three internationally recognised artists: Susan Hefuna, Bharti Kher, and Fred Tomaselli. Their works are characterized by a recourse to cultural, traditional, and religious references—including Egypt, India, and America. By using techniques like carving, they also raise questions about art and craft.
