PENNSYLVANIA - The Andy Warhol Museum's third in The Word of God series, introduces the Hindu religion in "The Word of God(ESS): Chitra Ganesh." The series which examines major world religions and their texts through contemporary art has already this year examined Islam and Judaism. Chitra Ganesh’s artwork combines different visual languages, canons and cultures, including comic books, Bollywood cinema and iconic goddesses from Hindu folklore. Ganesh creates cross-cultural narratives about sexuality and power that sit in comic book frames where interior thoughts are revealed in bubbles or – as in her wall installations – hover in psychedelic space with three-dimensional elements that protrude into contemporary reality. "The Word of God(ESS): Chitra Ganesh" runs from July 9 thru September 4, 2011. [www.warhol.org]
