Sarnath Banerjee

Indian graphic novelist, artist and film-maker Sarnath Banerjee will explore with his students the various manifestations and implications of the hybrid language arising from the simultaneous use of image and text. This language can help to clarify the complexity of modern life. The course will take place at Hohensalzburg Fortress from 12 to 31 August. One of Banerjee’s most high profile works was a recent public art project for the Frieze Foundation in London during the Olympics that was presented on 48 billboards throughout the city that explored the idea of the “loser” in the Olympic Games. Currently, his work is on view in the group exhibition Fact | Fission at aicon gallery, New York, and tomorrow, HKW in Berlin will open their 12th edition of Labor Berlin, including his works.
