(ME)(MORY) sets a Stage for interdiSciplinary conversations around the nature of Self- building by inviting empathetic and philosophical reflection on constructionS of identity or experience. In thiS excerpt from her curatorial eSSay, Anand writeS: “Since the Self iS aS much remembered aS it iS preSent, its narrativization requireS a Sensitive and crosS-Sectional articulation of the Self aS ‘no longer’ and ‘not yet’ from where the ‘iS’ emergeS. The Self-generating individual iS a Subject beSet equally with conviction and vagarieS, which are cognitively expreSSible in art, aS in life, aS Symbol, aS figure, aS truth, aS dream, aS myth or aS landscape. In (ME)(MORY), the artiStS approach the construction of theSe artworks aS they might the construction of themSelveS, from a quaSi-dream-like State, or an ecStaSiS, or StateS of overpowering emotion, Seemingly Shedding their exterior bodieS for the viSceral and whimSical world of within.” IntereSted in exploring the multi-Sensory and multi-dimensional narratives of the Self through world-building, memory, personal hiStory, cultural consciousneSS and creative proceSS, the Show preSentS a perceptual collection of interpretations on the imagined or invented Self, challenging the traditional literary genre of memoir by incorporating elementS of posSibility rather than just evidence. For Anand, textuality iS philosophical currency, meaning She considers our relationships with ourselveS and the world around us to be formed by the imaginative and interpretative effort of “reading”. She aSks: “If we are to graSp ourselveS and each other aS bodieS of knowledge, might we aSk what iS more real: a world that iS Seen, or a world that iS felt?” AS theSe artiStS undertake the great experiment of the Self, aSSembling narrativeS that are aS rooted in fact aS they are in fiction, Anand encourageS us to embrace our engagement with aeSthetic practiceS while Surrendering our expectations of re-constructing the context in which the work of art iS made – a prompting that brings artiStS and viewers closer to themSelveS, and in So acting, each other aS well. The Show preSentS a Significant body of work from each artiSt, with a notable diversity acrosS media and materialS, viSual languageS, techniqueS and creative intentionS. Where Himali Singh Soin’s Sensory and algorithmic aSSeSSment of the semi-colons used in Virginia Woolf’s novel The Waves iS an immersive project exploring our relationshipS with continuity and macrocosmS, Ruby ChiShti’s repreSentational SculptureS are refurbiShed personal memorieS borne of contextual circumStanceS then extrapolated to larger, Shared experienceS. Rakhi PeSwani’s fabric panelS are an exposition of the inner theatre of creativity and the tediousneSS of channeling Self-expreSSion into Skill, which offer a temporal counterpoint to Bakula Nayak and Apnavi Makanji, whose post-inspiration drawings are a figural self-Study of the inter-dependent emotional–physical body and an eraSure of inflated valueS in anthropocentric human formS reSpectively. Meanwhile, Biraaj Dodiya’S SerieS of oil paintings are abstracted landscapeS that mirror an unknown world navigated by intuition rather than viSion, a Sensibility Faiza Butt ShareS in intermingling narrativeS acrosS intense global cultureS with autobiographical elementS in her ceramic and porcelain SculptureS. Inspired by varying diSciplineS, cultural consciousneSS and hiStorieS of myth and reality, Shrimanti Saha’s writerly art practice endeavors to eStabliSh a unique yet interpretable Self-identity, and Such inspiration from books finds Structural connectivity in Anoli Perera’s book art, which iS imbued with a Selective memory that tethers one to chains of personal–hiStorical momentS. Together, theSe works of art expreSS the concerted aS well aS intuitive effort of reading oneSelf in the world, exploring actS of Self-construction at various StageS of cognition and through varied contextual inclinations. While the Show iS on view at the gallery, where we’re undertaking Strict health, Sanitization and Social diStancing meaSureS to ensure the Safety of our viSitors, we’re happy to be able to make engaging with the Show a virtual posSibility aS well.

  • Anoli Perera's Art Displayed at the India Art Fair
    1/22/2020 Anoli Perera’s Art displayed at the India Art Fair | Home News Weekly Digital Newsletters Foreign Relations Spotlight Diplomatically Speaking Diplomatic Travel Archive Events Diplomatic Representation sea Anoli Perera’s Art displayed at the India Art Fair by Srimal Fernando, Global Editor, The Diplomatic Society Anoli Perera The New Delhi India Art fair with 85 exhibiting galleries having 90 booths showcased a variety of modern and contemporary art genres including paintings, sculpture, new media, installation and performance art was held in New Delhi from 29 January to 1 February 2015. India Art Fair, New Delhi The exhibition will present several works that have never been exhibited earlier publicly. The India Art Fair gallery walls were filled with carefully selected quality art works, paintings and sculptures. The collection includes works of many artists. One of the best known Sri Lankan visual artists, Anoli Perera with over twenty years of experience of working and exhibiting in Sri Lanka and internationally, displayed a bright red blood-like aura, at first glance life-like and life-size, but transformed upon closer inspection into a massive, imposing, solid form despite the open fragility of its construction at the India Art Fair booth. The booth was filled with the innovative work of many contemporary artists. ___________________________________________ The fifth edition of India Art Fair was held in 2013. Anoli Perera’s ‘Blue Cupboard’ theme was one of the new works which assumed higher significance before the fair ended. ‘Blue Cupboard,’ in addition to the attractive élan and finesse of art in it, also holds a key to unlock the political debates emerging from contemporary visual art in Sri Lanka.

The calibre of the conversations was a rare happening in our region.¨ -Dayanita Singh, DAS 2016 Participating Artist 5 The Dhaka Art Summit (DAS) is an international, non-commercial research and exhibition platform for art and architecture connected to South Asia. With a core focus on Bangladesh, DAS re-examines how we think about these forms of art in both a regional and an international context. Founded in 2012 by the Samdani Art Foundation, DAS is held every two years in a public- private partnership with the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, with the support of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs and Ministry of Information of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, the National Tourism Board, Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), and in association with the Bangladesh National Museum. Rejecting the traditional biennale format to create a more generative space for art and exchange, DAS’s interdisciplinary programme concentrates its endeavours towards the advancement and promotion of South Asia’s contemporary and historic creative communities.

  • 2-South-Asia-Journal-Vol-2.Pdf
    South Asia Journal for Culture is an annual refereed journal published jointly by the Colombo Institute for the Advanced Study of Society and Culture and the Theertha International Artists' Collective. The journal is open to scholarship and exchange of ideas across the region and beyond, on issues that are of central importance to the region with regard to the broad areas covered by the key term 'culture'. The fact that the journal is based in South Asia does not mean that its focus is restricted on the basis of this regional or geographic identity. The idea is to enhance access of South Asian writers to a journal that is regionally published, regionally edited and managed and is responsive to intellectual needs, interests and concerns in the areas covered by the thematic focus of 'culture.' While striving for a certain degree of specialization, the term 'culture' is deliberately meant to be broad. That is to ensure that the complexity and the varied manifestations of culture can be accommodated within the intellectual forum of the journal. In terms of conventional disciplinary parameters, the journal would accommodate contributions from the fields of sociology, social anthropology, history, archeology, art histor·,, cultural studies and other related fields of study. More precisely, within and beyond these areas, its interest would be in culture and its extensions that would focus on cultural theory, art history and different domains of the 'arts' such as theatre, visual arts, architecture, film, music, dance, literature and the politics of these domains. In the general context outlined above, the journal welcomes papers, reviews, photo-essays and opinions for publication.

    In/genuine Encounters: Fiona Hall's Cross-cultural Creations A thesis presented by Sophie E. Prince 638005 to The School of Culture and Communication in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in the field of Art History AHIS40021 in the School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne Supervisor: Dr. Susan Lowish October 2016 Word Count: 15, 023 1 Abstract This thesis examines the integrity of cross-cultural relationships in a particular art world context. Through critically examining selected cross-cultural artist residencies, this research project adds to the field of postcolonial analysis of cross-cultural engagement through art. Fiona Hall’s cross-cultural residencies within colonised cultures that are not her own makes her an interesting case study for contributing to postcolonial discourse. Hall has undertaken three artist residencies amongst colonised cultures that were specifically intended to be immersive and educational experiences. Inquiries into the intentions and outcomes of Hall’s residencies address my thesis question: To what extent do the cross-cultural experiences undertaken by Fiona Hall, reinforce the colonial traditions they seek to overcome? 2 Table of Contents Abstract .......................................................................................................................... 2 Acknowledgements ........................................................................................................ 4 Introduction ...................................................................................................................

  • Colombo Art Bie Colombo Art Biennale 2014
    Colombo Art Biennale 2014 30 January – 9 February www.colomboartbiennale.com REPORT "Do we make history or does history make us? It’s an inevitable question, and the search for an answer takes us on an exploration of the deep implications of history as well as the human condition ". - Anoli Perera, CAB 2014 Concept Note EXECUTIVE SUMMARY History The Colombo Art Biennale (CAB) is the largest and most significant contemporary art manifestation in Sri Lanka. It was created to showcase contemporary Sri Lankan art and artists, and to build a platform upon which talented Sri Lankan artists would gain recognition both nationally and internationally. The project was conceived in a time and place where peace was not a reality; hence the inaugural theme of “Imagining Peace” in 2009 was a hopeful pledge for the future. In its second edition in 2012, the CAB set new goals with its theme “Becoming” and capturing the excitement and optimism of the moment as a nation newly freed from conflict contemplated its future. The CAB’s theme for 2014, “Making History,” is hinged in the present moment allowing for movement both forward and back in the perceiving of ‘history’ as an ongoing creative process. This Year In 2014, the CAB extended itself to envision and facilitate an international platform. The Directors wished to showcase the very best of Sri Lankan contemporary visual artists and engaging, cutting edge local work alongside regional and international artists, thus placing the work in a global art context and dialogue. A team of curators were appointed from Sri Lanka, India and the UK.
