Nenapinangaladinda: Mapping Installation Art in Bangalore | Venkatappa Art Gallery | March 03, 2016

Join us for our second Nenapinangaladinda: Down Memory Lane – A Project 560, 2015 Arts Talk for an evening of conversations onthe history of installation art in Bangalore.

Mapping Installation Art in Bangalore: 1993 – 2003
A dialogue on five selected art projects

Artists including Sheela Gowda, Pushpamala N, M S Umesh, Tripura Kashyap, Raghavendra Rao,Shantamani, C F John with Sundar Sarukkai as moderator, will be part of a panel to dialogue about their experiences, and experiments with materials, forms, language and space, at a time when galleries and other institutions were still largely focussing on conventional forms like sculptures and paintings. Other artists whose projects will be represented are Ramesh Kalkur, Shamala, Srinivas Prasad, Azis T M, Ravisankar Rao, Amrish, Ramesh Chandra and Nandakishore.

You can walk through an exhibition of the five art projects which will be under discussion: Silence of Furies and Sorrows – Pages of a Burning City; EarthWork – A Time and Site Specific Art; Sthalapuranagalu; Sakshi Gudda Sakshi Gode and Walls of Memories – An Art Event of Unresolved Edges.

The exhibition will be followed by a discussion on Bangalore's artistic contribution to this field from the beginning of the movement in the 1990s, where individual and collaborative explorations of installation, performance and sound art, resulted in novel connections with land, communities and public spaces. The artists will engage in a larger discussion about the context of the creation of their artwork, the motivation and challenges they faced, and the way they view the future of such art practices.

But wait, this evening is not over quite yet!
Tripura Kashyap will present a recreation of a performance from Silence of Furies and Sorrows.
