Rit (Sreshta Rit Premnath) is a Bangalore-born, Brooklyn-based artist. His recent installations, paintings and videos have focused on how our bodily occupation of space and endurance through time is shaped by systems of power and control. He has had solo exhibitions at the MIT List Visual Arts Center (Cambridge), Contemporary Arts Center Cincinnati, Institute of Contemporary Art San Diego, Contemporary Art Gallery Vancouver, Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, and Nomas Foundation (Rome), among many others. He is the founding editor of the publication Shifter (published from 2004 to 2021) which explored themes at the intersection of contemporary art, critical theory and experimental writing. Prior to joining Williams College, Premnath taught undergraduate and graduate courses at the Parsons School of Design at the New School, and served as the Director of the BFA Fine Arts Program. | |
