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.

.이 리토그랩 판화는 두번째 한정판 에디션이며, Saachi 갤러리 교육 프로그램을 지원하기 위해 우리와 뜻을 같이 하며 각 전시에 동행하는 초대된 작가들에 의해 소개되고 있습니다. 오직 100개만의 작은 에디션이므로 우리는 빠른 판매가 진행 될 것으로 보며,우리 사치측에서 대중에 광고하기전에 우리회원, 후원자, 스폰서들에게 이 판화를 갖을수 있는 기회를 제공 하고싶습니다.
