Charged Voids

Painted scaffolds, dimensions variable, 2022
North View Gallery, Portland Community College, Sylvania, OR

“In Charged Voids, Avantika Bawa exposes the intersections between exterior and interior, functional and aesthetic, within the context of the PCC Sylvania campus. Throughout August, Bawa was in residence at the North View Gallery, installing a new iteration of her Scaffold Series. The gallery occupies one of the original 1968 Brutalist buildings at Sylvania, furthering the exploration Bawa began with A Brutal Affair, a series of drawings and prints inspired by the monumental rawness of Brutalist structures around the world, including in her hometown New Delhi.”
