Ranjani Shettar

[citation needed] The Barbican Centre in London commissioned Shettar's first major institutional show in Europe in 2023, titled "Cloud songs on the horizon," the project features a series of expansive suspended sculptures spanning the Conservatory's space.

[10] In her works, Shettar combines natural and industrial materials, including beeswax, wood, organic dyes, vegetal pastes, lacquer, steel, and cloth, to create large-scale installations.

[15] Shettar has created immersive installations, such as Seven Ponds and a Few Rain Drops (2017),[16] which entered the permanent collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2018.

[18] In her work Just a bit more (2005-2006),[19] which is now in the permanent collection of MoMA New York, the artist really relied on the lightweight and translucent quality of the material to create an intricate web of threads.

One such piece, Me, No, Not Me, Buy Me, Eat Me, Wear Me, Have Me, Me, No, Not Me (2006-2007)[21] was featured at the inaugural exhibition of San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's sculptural garden.
