中文简介：

印度视觉艺术家希尔帕·古普塔（Shilpa Gupta）因其深刻而具有社会参与性的多方面实践而享誉国际。她的作品持续探索人类行为和互动如何受制于一系列外部和内部指令，包括但不限于社会政治结构、个人关系和技术。她实践中的联觉本质植根于她在1990年代长大的印度孟买这个后自由化城市，以及南亚复杂的政治景观。

古普塔的作品得到了许多艺术名人和知名策展人的支持，包括大卫·埃利奥特、马西米利亚诺·吉奥尼、杰拉尔多·莫斯奎拉和汉斯·乌尔里希·奥布里斯特。古普塔是第一位来自亚洲次大陆被选为当代艺术家系列介绍人的艺术家，她通过创作视频、互动装置、雕塑和参与式表演等形式，敏锐地观察日常生活并激发观众对地方和人的定义以及归属感的思考。这是关于她作品的第一本综合专著。

英文简介：

Shilpa Gupta is internationally known for her profound and socially engaged multi-faceted practice. Her work is an ongoing exploration of how human actions and interactions are subjected to a range of external and internal biddings, from socio-political constructs to personal relationships and technology. The synaesthetic nature of her practice is rooted in the post-liberalizing city of Mumbai in India, where she grew up in the 1990s, and the complex political landscape in South Asia.

Gupta's work has been championed by many art luminaries and high-profile curators, including David Elliott, Massimiliano Gioni, Geraldo Mosquera, and Hans Ulrich Obrist. She is the first artist from the Asian sub-continent – a region with a booming art scene – to be chosen to be profiled in the Contemporary Artists Series. A keen observer of the everyday, Gupta creates videos, interactive installations, sculptures, and participatory performances, stimulating in the viewer a reflection on how places and people are defined and the meaning of belonging. This is the first comprehensive monograph of her work.
