Multitudes - A Group Show Exhibition 19 - 27.06.2009 9.00 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, Bangalore
In collaboration with Zen Studio Gallery and Artflute.com All are welcome! “a fragment still signals to a lost or promised totality…” - Jacques Derrida This exhibition is an effort to bring together multiple concerns in the field of cultural production onto a single platform. If anything is traceable as common in this exhibition, it would be the social commitment of the participating artists and its organisers. It is not an attempt to provide a singular answer to all pertinent questions with regard to cultural practice in general, but rather an initiative to think about newer frameworks which will enable us to deal with these questions from multiple subject positions. As the title indicates, this show foresees a possibility of heterogeneous being and becoming with its distinctness and difference and thereby imagines difference and the right to differ as the quality of the world. The participants and their varying subjective locations and concerns themselves make this show a defender of the right to differ. The political concerns of the participating artists range from engaging with broader questions of gender, sexuality, caste, religion, community and class to the specific questions of violence in the public sphere and everyday life, and systemic marginalization at large. This is not to state that these are the only concerns of the participating artists or that one can bracket each artist into a singular category. On the contrary, many works in this exhibition engage with multiple issues and are also concerned with the linguistic as well as formal aspects of visual idioms. Like in multitudes, these works generate, re-generate and de-generate meanings through active collaborations, contestations and resistances. The current exhibition was originally organised by the Zen Studio Gallery, Eramalloor at the Lalit Kala Akademi in Kochi, Kerala in March 2009.
