Dear friends,
Its a pleasure to share with you my new upcomings. Recently i was selected for Futur foundation Artist in Residency programme at Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland 2015.
To begin with its one of the beautiful and peaceful landscape i experienced for three months with beautiful mountains, lakes, swans and nice cold breeze. Arrangement for artist where so perfect that i felt very homely throughout my stay. I was able to focus totally on my creative process.
since last few years my content for work revolves around politics. I continued my working in same context. I had so many materials to use as a part of my work. i was working with direct indirect references, my personal experiences since childhood, my perception about my understanding of politics on various levels.
I used acrylic as my medium to work with. As a Indian we are part of diverse culture. we also understand its complexity and functioning. Its sensitive when it comes to religion and faith. space for politics is created with this sensitive areas. I see the idea of polarization for personal and temporary gains which in long run becomes a mess to get rid off. During last Indian Loksabha election of 2015 was a nerve strectching experience. there where so many statements counter statements controversy which designed the new level of politics like branding. It was a clear polarization through out the campaign where politician focused on common people nerves.
In all such campaigns then and after that in state level elections few statements where special for me to be ignored. for eg one elected Minister of Parliament appealing to public to vote on the basis of their genes. The statement where "you people have to decide whom do you want to vote?. do you want to vote for the sons of Lord Rama or do you want to vote for the bastards". Another statement like "these people marry four five time and just keep producing 40 pille (puppies)", All this statement for me is below the belt and utterly insensitive. This references become part of my work in this residency.
I also worked with my position as a artist and as a individual in the society within this political situations. Its a confrontation outside me and within me. the process of work is talking about this confrontations. I want the viewer to get connected and feel parallel with my feelings of being insecure. We need peace and not confrontations for our progress.
Thank
you
