Derived from the industrial district conceptualized by Alfred Marshall in the late 19th century and revisited in the 1980s in Italy by the theorists of the regulation and, in particular Giacomo Becattini, it came to designate more or less concentrated area specialized in art activities, initiated either by small-scales industries or public institutions or both.

    GALLERYSKE Presents “every broken moment, piece by piece”, a Solo Exhibition by Sudarshan Shetty Preview: January 12th 2014, 12 - 5PM On Public View: January 13th – March 2nd, 2014 Sudarshan Shetty’s forthcoming solo exhibition at GALLERYSKE, New Delhi, marks the artist’s return to the city after ten years. This will also be the first solo show to be held at GALLERYSKE’s new Connaught Place location. The exhibition will include large-scale wooden sculptures, mixed-media pieces, as well as a video piece. Shetty is invested in the world of physical objects, which he uses to question our conception of time and experience of loss. Traditional Western understanding sees time as linear, but the artist rejects this notion in favour of a circular model where old forms can be reworked and reused. Drawing from research on South Asian monuments, Shetty revises classical arts on a contemporary stage where new performances and rituals can take place. Shetty combines ancient architectural motifs from India’s varied cultures into a pan-Indian building, bringing together different strands of history in one structure. In his video piece, classical ragas played by a sarangi player are re-contextualized so that the music can be read in new ways. The passing of time becomes a regenerative force, opening up novel paths for interpretation. Sudarshan Shetty's most recent solo shows are "The pieces earth took away" at Galerie Krinzinger, Vienna (2012), "listen outside this house" at GALLERYSKE, Bangalore (2011), "Between the tea cup and a sinking constellation" at Galerie Daniel Templon, Paris (2011),"this too shall pass" at Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum, Mumbai (2010) and "The more I die the lighter I get" at Tilton Gallery, New York (2010).

  • The Ploy of Hybridized, Mysterious, and Playful Aesthetics in the Artwork of Sudarshan Shetty
    © 2020 JETIR December 2020, Volume 7, Issue 12 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) The Ploy of Hybridized, Mysterious, and Playful Aesthetics in the Artwork of Sudarshan Shetty Dr. Furqan Ahmad 1, Saba Rafi 2 1. TGT (Drawing), Directorate of Education, Government of NCT of Delhi, 2. Research Scholar, Department of Fine Arts, Aligarh Muslim University. ABSTRACT This research paper examines the enigmatic/interdisciplinary artworks of contemporary Indian artist Sudarshan Shetty, exploring the themes and subject matter of his art practices stretching across almost three decades. He is one of the modern contemporary artists whose art is not easily-understood; to do this, one has to talk to the art connoisseurs or the artist himself. This paper will discuss and compare some of his famous works with his themes. Shetty’s style and techniques, to a certain degree, are interestingly different and unique. His work is altered and exceptional in a distinct manner yet modern in the real sense. Keywords: Sudarshan Shetty; Indian; International; Contemporary Art; Kinetic; Interdisciplinary Art; Installation Art; New Media Art. Introduction: Sudarshan Shetty was born in 1961 in Mangalore, Karnataka.1 Now, Shetty is living and working in Mumbai, where his family shifted in his childhood.2 He grew up in a family where a lively atmosphere of music and singing was in the house; his father Adve Vasu Shetty was a performer in Yakshagana.3 All this left a siginificant impact on shaping the younger Shetty’s artistic sensibilities. He also learned Carnatic music and was also introduced to Nirgun poetry.4 Shetty received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from Sir J.J.

No longer is it seen as an indulgence, or a cultural posture: it’s an integral part of living – not just painting and sculpture, but environmental genres that integrate with vertical gardens, for instance, and even newer technology- based genres like those that use LED light. There’s something for everybody and that’s as true of budgetary considerations as it is of the aesthetic ones.

The three dominant interpretations of ‘things’ that he gaves are: Things as substances with properties, Things with multiple views, ideas and perceptions and Things as ‘formed matter’ or material. ‘Material’ definition according to the Merriam Webster dictionary is: relating to, derived from, or consisting of matter; especially: physical, the material world. In art, matter is not only considered a basic material that has mass and occupies space, but also as a means for expressions, ideation and action. Art is about the exploration, conceptualization and employment of matter in contemporary art practice. This exhibition ‘Material Eye’ brings together some of the recent artistic approaches to materiality, drawing attention to the material itself, and how it takes over the role of becoming the main character and/or agent both within the process of art making and in the artwork. The ‘eye’ in the title indicates opening a new dimension, a symbolic indication to see the unseen through the materials. The objective of the show to establish the importance of physical experience of the art-form in all its manifestations and to highlight the significance of materiality in contemporary art today.
