Sagarika Sundaram: Reservoir

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Had an absolutely amazing day at @henrymooreinstitute exploring the work of @ohsagarika in her work Reservoir.

The pieces explored our relationship with the natural world through different fibres, materials, tools textures, depicting mountains and one piece that made me think of a coral reef. Her work really creates this sense of awe to how alive the world is.

Highly recommend if you are looking for a new artists work, definitely check her out and see more. This exhibition is on until Jan 2027 so you have plenty of time to go have a look.

'The relationship between control and risk and chance is very exciting to me'

In this excerpt of our film, made with artist Sagarika Sundaram in the studio in India as she created work for her exhibition Reservoir, she explains how she's approached dyeing differently for this body of work. Instead of working with wool she had already dyed, this time, she experimented with 'bringing colour later'.

Watch the full film via the link in our bio and visit the exhibition Tuesday – Sunday 10am–5pm, until 10 January 2027, free entry.

Sagarika Sundaram’s 'Reservoir' is featured in Niha Masih’s article for The Guardian.⁠
⁠
'There’s a clearer commitment to sculpture in this body of work, even though I’m still working with felt. I’m thinking spatially and making large volumes that explore what cloth can do: bend, collapse, gather, turn inward and support or surrender to its own weight.'⁠

'Reservoir' continues at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, until 10 January 2027.⁠

Silver Art — New York’s most ambitious artist residency — will host its annual gala to support year-long free studio space, mentorship, and career development opportunities for emerging and mid-career artists. Join us for an evening with our artists high atop 3 World Trade Center with the most spectacular views of the city.

This year, we celebrate 5 years of artists cohorts so far as we welcome the 2026-27 residents. Throughout the new year, we will be acknowledging all of our alumni. For the gala, we’re honoring one artist from each cohort who had a point of inflection during their time with us.

This is a party with a purpose: to raise funds for our mission of empowering artists through generous studio space and sustaining thriving practices in Lower Manhattan. Your support is an investment in the future of art.

In Reservoir, her first museum exhibition, Sagarika Sundaram turns hand-dyed wool into monumental felt sculpture. Each work is built through repeated dyeing, layering and compression, then cut open to reveal the colours and forms held inside.

At the centre is Blue Mountain (2026), almost seven metres long, with cave-like spaces you can move around and almost into. Every work in the show was made in Kutch, India, especially for this exhibition.

📍 Henry Moore Institute, Leeds
🗓 Until 10 January 2027

Sagarika Sundaram (@ohsagarika) is a New York-based artist born in India whose work expands the possibilities of sculpture through wool, dye, and felt. Her practice draws on textile traditions and labor-intensive processes, transforming raw fiber into dense forms that carry the traces of folding, pressure, and time. For Sundaram, material is never passive. It holds memory, movement, and the possibility of revealing what has been hidden within it.

For ‘Reservoir’ at Henry Moore Institute (@henrymooreinstitute), Sundaram creates her first museum exhibition through an entirely new body of work made in Kutch, India. Monumental felt sculptures unfold across the galleries, with forms that suggest caves, shells, and spirals while creating spaces visitors can move around and beneath. The exhibition marks a significant shift in her practice, using monochrome color and large-scale construction to explore how a material can become a record of its own making.

Visit ‘Reservoir’ at Henry Moore Institute in Leeds through January 10

The news of Peter Nagy’s passing is difficult to absorb. We saw him so recently at Nature Morte’s new home at A9 Gulmohar Park in New Delhi, during the preview of The Evolution of the Soothsayer: Part 1. Looking at this photograph now, I keep returning to his hands, caught mid-gesture, his dark hat and round glasses. It is hard to reconcile that recent encounter with the knowledge that we will not see him at the gallery again.

The exhibition he curated marked Nature Morte’s 30th anniversary in Delhi, bringing together 35 artists across two parts. The first included @dayanitasingh , @bharti_kher_studio_ , @manisha.parekh5 , @abiroctober , @ohsagarika and Thukral and Tagra, among others. Opening a new gallery with such a gathering of artists felt like a moment to look ahead. His death makes that occasion unexpectedly poignant: we were seeing another chapter begin in a life spent making room for art.

Peter’s relationship with India grew over decades. An American artist himself, he co-founded Nature Morte with Alan Belcher in New York’s East Village in 1982. That gallery operated until 1988; he moved to India in 1992 and re-established Nature Morte in New Delhi in 1997. He brought experience of a lively, questioning art scene, and helped create a space here where artists could pursue work whose materials and forms demanded different ways of looking.

His contribution can be felt in the place photography, conceptual work, sculpture and installation occupy in Indian contemporary art today. Nature Morte gave these practices sustained support, helping artists realise complex projects and bringing their work into wider international conversations. Peter also continued to make art. His early Xerox works and subsequent paintings explored image-making, consumption and the languages of advertising, concerns that gave his own practice a distinct critical edge.

For those of us who encountered him through exhibitions and conversations about art, the loss will register in very ordinary ways: arriving at an opening, looking around the room, expecting to find him there. I am grateful that we saw him at the new gallery, surrounded by work he had chosen to bring together.
