Jasleen Kaur, Boomerang
Hollybush Issue 21 is published on the occasion of Boomerang, Jasleen Kaur’s first solo exhibition at Hollybush Gardens, featuring a new body of work which considers how histories and narratives are managed and manufactured, socialised and maintained. Kaur’s work emanates from a position of how events happening elsewhere reverberate both on a macro level, in public societal structures, and on a micro level, within the intimacy of our domestic lives and personal relationships.The Issue features a newly commissioned text by Amanprit Sandhu, curator, writer and Senior Lecturer on the Fine Art programme at Chelsea College of Arts, UK.
Hollybush Issue is a contextualising device that provides information on artists’ practices through essays, conversations and images. Issues are printed periodically and linked to specific events such as exhibitions, performances or presentations.
