Jitish KallatSweatopia (1000 People/ 1000 Homes)Original laser cut lithograph99 x 67 cmPrinted on 250 gr. Velin d'Arches paperEdition of 100 numbered and signed by the artistPrinted at Edition Copenhagen in Copenhagen, DenmarkPrice: £475 (ex VAT)
To accompany the Saatchi Gallery¡¯s exhibition, The Empire Strikes Back: Indian Art Today, one of the artists featured in the show, Jitish Kallat has worked closely with the Saatchi Gallery and Edition Copenhagen to create a limited edition original, signed and numbered laser cut lithograph print.
The lithographic print ¡®Sweatopia (1000 People/ 1000 Homes)¡¯ has a simple image of a shirt hung to dry on a clothes line.
As if the garment were a carrier of the city¡¯s inner secrets, it drips a thousand narratives culled from a vast, colliding humanscape.
The string it hangs on is formed by a text drawn from Tristan Tzara's nonsensical and richly layered dada poem titled
¡®The Great Lament Of My Obscurity Three¡¯.
This lithograph is the second in a series of limited editions that will be produced by invited artists to accompany each of our exhibitions to support the Saatchi Gallery¡¯s education programme. As this is a small edition of only 100, we expect them to sell out quickly, and would like to offer our members, patrons and sponsors the opportunity to purchase these prints before we advertise them to the public.
