Rohini Devasher

As part of Temporal Turn, the Spencer’s major exhibition of contemporary Asian art, Indian artist Rohini Devasher visited Lawrence during October and November 2016 to create new, site-specific artwork. Devasher conducted a site visit to the Spencer in September 2015 in order to plan her upcoming work—a wall drawing with video elements planned for the Museum’s newly renovated Central Court. Devasher’s current work is heavily influenced by astronomy, and her commissioned installation will draw on images from her field investigations at the Indian Astronomical Observatory at Hanle, high in the Himalayas.
