Bombay Black occurs around the time
of the Kala Ghoda festival where the disappearance of a man mounted on a
horse now calls for reason to have an art festival. The square is
called Kala Ghoda, though the legendary back horse now lives in the
quiet communes of the Bombay Zoo. The myth of the Black Horse
instigates the idea of the city of Bombay and its relationship to the
colour black , where through an exhibition we construct the many lines
of aesthetic and social folklores that exist around colour.

| Minutes of the Meeting | Garima Gupta Solo| Art Night Thursday Clark House Bombay Minutes of the meeting is a documentation of my travels from Jakarta to New Guinea, looking at Birds of Paradise as more than just an exotic curio that adorned the Cabinets of Curiosities across Europe. The drawings and short films trace the ebb and flow of ecological destruction surrounding the species in the South-East Asian and Western Pacific region. Starting from the min 16th-century trade of exotic fauna, to being the epicentre of Dutch colonial rule in the 18th century, to today’s palm oil crisis - the birds and animals of the region have been major players in world history. Their unwitting entanglement ranged from their contribution to the spirit of scientific inquiry, right upto today’s insatiable need for food products processed with palm oil. This fascinating and tragic entanglement, often underrepresented, is the story I am sharing from 09th Feb - 08th March 2017 at Clark House Initiative. Do come!

Pisurwo developed his aesthetic skills by following the contemporary school of abstract art institution.
Jitendra P Suralkar, born in 1977, also known as “Pisurwo”, is an Indian origin artist descending from Kalkheda district in the State of Maharashtra,near Ajanta cave, India. During his course of 6 years, Pisurwo developed his aesthetic skills by following the contemporary school of abstract art institution. he handled subjects Yakshya-Yakshini, triangle,king and queens,ramayana- Mahabharata period,lady godia,last supper and other.
Currently, Pisurwo is showcasing his abstract form of arts into unique masterpieces by portraying multiple human behaviors in his expressive artwork theme titled: King and His Six Queens. Behind every masterpiece comes an expression of how the King constantly adapts his behaviors to those of his counterparts. A reason why his themed art gallery projects the different stages and transitions of what the King have become today, according to Pisurwo. Stories cannot be told in narration, however, but can be envisioned on canvas, a reason why Pisurwo reflects human behaviors, characteristics and emotions before the eyes of the beholder.
Pisurwo done his past exhibition Paris( villa vasillief)- London ( show room)- Sri Lanka (shadow's) - Kuwait (rahem art gallery)-afrika (Dakar biennial) - New York (contemporary biennial)- Dubai (Dubai biennial),Ireland( private space) - India ( chemould Prescott,clark house,kalaghoda festival,jehangir and other places )

Yakshini (Sanskrit: याक्षिणि, also known as Yakshi and Yakkhini in Pali) are mythical beings of Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain mythology. Yakshini (Yakshi) is the female counterpart of the male Yaksha, and they are attendees of Kubera, the Hindu god of wealth who rules in the mythical Himalayan kingdom of Alaka. They are the guardians of the treasure hidden in the earth and resemble fairies. Yakshinis are often depicted as beautiful and voluptuous, with wide hips, narrow waists, broad shoulders, and exaggerated, spherical breasts. In Uddamareshvara Tantra, thirty-six Yakshinis are described, including their mantras and ritual prescriptions. A similar list of Yakshas and Yakshinis are given in the Tantraraja Tantra, where it says that these beings are givers of whatever is desired. Although Yakshinis are usually benevolent, there are also yakshinis with malevolent characteristics in Indian folklore.
