Rossi & Rossi, 16 Clifford Street, Piccadilly, W1S 3RG
How Much:
Free!
Contemporary conceptual art meets classical Buddhism at Rossi & Rossi this month with an exhibition of work by Tibetan-born artist Tenzing Rigdol.
Painting, sculpture and video are all on show, as Rigdol analyses various elements of Buddhist philiosphy and its relationship with contemporary art. So, alongside a selection of paintings, there's This is not a chair, a chair covered in Tibetan Buddhist scriptures, and Scripture Noodle, a video of the artist preparing a soup out of a Buddhist text before eating it from a polystyrene take-away box.
This latter work is a response to the old saying, 'Don't be the bowl that carries the soup, be the mouth that gulps it'. Quite.
Until 27.03.09.
