UBIK

Biografie

UBIK is a conceptual artist and publishing designer based in New Delhi, India. Their practice is rooted primarily in the making of texts, images, videos and sculpture, through works that interrogate objects and their environments. Moving between the various spheres of the art-making process, UBIK observes the possibilities of constructing a critical yet humorous narrative, one whose aesthetics bear resemblance to affairs rooted in the contemporary.

 

UBIK’s solo exhibitions include Gaps in my resume at Apre Art House, Bombay (2026); Dear (2018), Iterations (2015) and Dissident (2012) at Sabrina Amrani Gallery, Madrid; As you can see at Exhibit 320, New Delhi (2016); Incidentals at Lawrie Shabibi, Dubai (2014); and Relate to the Matter As I Drop the Bomb at Traffic, Dubai (2011). Group exhibitions include Hold the Dandelions, There is no one to be found at Gallery27, Kochi (2024); Ver Versus Ver at Sabrina Amrani Gallery, Madrid (2020); Gadfly at Indigo + Madder Gallery, London (2019); Der Sand aus den Uhren at Franz Josefs Kai 3, Vienna (2016); Thanks for Writing at 601Artspace, New York (2014); and the THE STATE series at Traffic, Dubai (2011–2012), among others across Spain, the UAE and elsewhere.
