NS Harsha: Nations
Chen Cheih-jen: Factory

Iniva presents exhibitions by NS Harsha and Chen Chieh-jen at Rivington Place this autumn. Both artists explore issues which have a global resonance, using film and installation to address labour outsourcing, consumerism and market forces.

NS Harsha: Nations
Nations is a grand-scale installation by Indian artist NS Harsha, exhibited for the first time in Europe at Rivington Place. It questions international politics and globalisation combining serious discussion with visual wit. 192 sewing machines are overlaid with calico painted flags signifying the countries that make up the United Nations.

The artist creates a vision of a world divided by flags, he uses a delicate web of threads to link the sewing machines. Nations refers to the outsourcing of labour in response to the demands of world economies, as well as the networks that exist between countries.

Chen Chieh-jen: Factory
Taiwanese artist Chen Chieh-Jen’s haunting film Factory is shown for the first time in London. Focusing on a group of textile workers, it is set within the context of manufacturing moving abroad in search of cheaper labour.

In 2003 the artist invited workers to return to the now derelict Lien Fu garment factory which had been closed down 7 years earlier.
