Press Release - The upcoming exhibition at Aakriti Art Gallery on the concept of ‘Freedom’.

On the occasion of 75 years of Indian Independence Aakriti Art Gallery presents an exhibition titled ‘FREEDOM: FROM DESPAIR TO DREAM’. The show is curated by the Art Writer and Curator Mrinal Ghosh featuring the works of 12 painters and 7 sculptors. The participant painters are Partha Pratim Deb, P.R.Narvekar, Chittrovanu Mazumdar, Chhatrapati Dutta, Samir Aich, Jaya Ganguli, Chandra Bhattacharya, K.Muralidharan, Samindranath Majumdar, Pankaj Panwar, Debraj Goswami and Bholanath Rudra, and the sculptors Krishen Khanna, Bimal Kundu, Deabnjan Roy, Akhil Chandra Das, Subrata Biswas, Tapas Biswas and Mrinal Kanti Gayen.

We are delighted to inform you that Priyasri Art Gallery will be hosting a solo exhibition of Jogen Chowdhury towards MGW 2023 at Kathiwada City House (KCH), Mumbai.

"Artist-imaginaire of a tradition that brought craft, tradition and modernity in conversation with each other, Jogen Chowdhury evokes glimpses of folkloric time in his recent works". 

-Srajana Kaikini (Ideator)

Dr Srajana Kaikini works across philosophical, artistic and curatorial grounds. She is presently Assistant Professor of Philosophy at SIAS, Krea University.

Priyasri Patodia invites artist-philosopher Srajana Kaikini to respond to Jogen Chowdhury’s works in this new ensemble titled "The Night the Writing Fell Silent". 

Looking forward to hearing back from you for more information.

Have a wonderful week.

Regards,

“I remember you from tomorrow.” Ratnadeep Adivrekar’

Artist: Ratnadeep Adivrekar

‘’For the memories themselves are not important. Only when they have changed into our very blood, into glance and gesture, and are nameless, no longer to be distinguished from ourselves only then can it happen that in some very rare hour the first word of a poem arises in their midst and goes forth from them.”

-        Rainer Marie Rilke

A   thought is a function of time, a pattern of growth, and not the thing that the lens of the printed word seems to objectify. It is more like a cloud than a rock, although its effects can be just as long lasting as a block of stone, and its aging subject to the similar processes of destructive erosion and constructive edification. Duration is the medium that makes thought possible, therefore duration is to consciousness as light is to the eye.

From the medieval vantage point, the post-Brunelleschi optical painting seemed to be not all here, the illusion of someplace else compared to the concrete, immediate, nondescriptive existence of the icon image. The physical apparatus of the moving image necessitates its existence as primarily a mental phenomenon. The viewer sees only one image at a time in the case of the painting and more extreme, only the decay trace of a flipping page in the video. In either case, the whole does not exist and therefore can only reside in the mind of the person who has seen it, to be revived periodically through his or her memory.

Conceptual and physical movement becomes equal, experience becomes a language, and concreteness emerges from the highly abstract, metaphysical nature of Ratnadeep Adivrekar’s work. It is this concreteness of individual experience, the original impetus for the story –

“I remember you from tomorrow.”
