Shangri-la Girl’s SchoolPost an Event »

"shangri-la girl's school" is a panoramic drawing installation at MG Gallery in Oakland in which Glover has recalled her childhood boarding school from memory, and committed it to charcoal drawings which wrap around the perimeter of the space and measure about 30 feet in total. Narangkar Glover is a visual artist and curator living and working in Oakland, California. In her work she investigates personal narrative, individualism and private space. For narrative work, Glover treats memories like abstracted representations, and for each there is an appropriate visual dialogue to take advantage of. She deliberately avoids fabricating an alternate reality and rejects symbolism, mysticism or iconography, and focuses on form as her primary visual language. Glover is currently an MFA candidate at the University of California at Berkeley, and the co-owner of Rowan Morrison Gallery in Oakland.
