omeone draws a flower on a wall beside a bed
An act, an image, a possibility

Exhibition opening: Tuesday 4th August, 2009, 6-8pm.

The title of this exhibition is a simple sentence that presents us  
with an act, an image, and a possibility. It evokes a certain kind of  
poetic potentiality in the everyday, and opens a door for exploration  
into things that can be simultaneously meaningless and meaningful  
depending on how and from where you’re looking and feeling.

Someone draws a flower on a wall beside a bed draws upon this  
potentiality in order to open up a space in which to creatively  
explore and discuss the idea of the life in art.

The exhibition will bring together a range of eclectic works which  
respond to the central concerns of the exhibition in diverse, engaging  
and at times wonderfully contradictory ways.

There will be bread from Kashmir, painting as digital confetti, a  
domestic clothes line, short stories, sounds from Delhi’s streetscape,  
paper airplanes and childhood dreams, a typography of accidental signs  
made from egg cartons, an exploration of the systematization of  
behavior, videos of wandering lamps, of water colour portraits coming  
to life, of thirst and labour, factories and making, of borders and  
transgression, of the politics of female toilet signs, cleanliness and  
communication, images of war danced, and of breath, life, and the  
creative process. Public interventions will enter the gallery and as  
works emerge from the site directly; the gallery space itself will  
become a site of intervention.

The curatorial approach works to create juxtapositions of perspective  
and ideas, to build subtle associations, and to assemble the space as  
a larger participatory project in itself through the idea of  
facilitating shared experience.

The participating artists in the exhibition includes established and  
emerging artists as well as practitioners who don’t usually, or have  
never before, labeled themselves as artists at all, and will bring  
together in the School of Arts and Aesthetics Galleries of JNU works  
from Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Sydney, Melbourne, Seoul, New York and  
Guatemala City.

Participating artists include Ingrid Dernee, Dipa Donde, Dhruba Dutta,  
Manola K. Gayatri, Bani Gill, Natasha Ginwala, Iram Ghufran, Rosita  
Holmes, Alana Hunt, Ish, Thomas Jacob, Ein Lall, Sophea Lerner, Ila  
Mehrotra, Ojasvi Mohanty, Arka Mukhopadhyay, Grace Needlman, Yoon Jung
