In early 2024 the Atthowe team installed Huma Bhabha’s remarkable sculpture at the San Jose Museum of Art. Special thanks to Frederick Liang for capturing this behind-the-scenes moment, as the photos attest to the Atthowe team’s careful handling of works of significant scale.
Measuring 98 3/4 x 18 x 25 inches, Huma Bhabha’s Receiver is a “phantasmal giant that reflects the centuries of violence written on the human body and its resilience despite such trauma—a testament to the dignity and strength of the discarded, forgotten, and unseen.”
