How can one rig up to 4,000 microphones and then suspend them in the form of a rather menacing black cloud from the ceiling? Curious visitors would certainly like to pose this query to an artist who has achieved this ‘trick’ in her work? Those signing up for a visit organized by Asia Society to Shilpa Gupta’s studio in the first week of May 5 will get an opportunity to do so.
The proposed visit is part of the society’s ‘Rendezvous with the Artist’ series under which it is holding a small group of art lovers to visit artist studios in the city of Mumbai. A leading name in the field of contemporary Indian art world has long crossed the barriers and norms of conventional visual expression, something that she did at her most recent show at Chemould Prescott Road gallery. The visit to the artist’s studio in Bandra is open to about 25 people only.
They are all going to join the internationally respected artist in a free-wheeling conversation about her work, her artistic inspirations, her processes and her projects, all in the settings of her own spacious working studio. The visitors will get to be part of the creative environ where her innovative ideas germinate. They will have an opportunity to join in an one-to-one discussion with the eminent contemporary practitioner.
Her work has been showcased all across the world, at several renowned institutions like the Tate Modern, London; Mori Museum, Tokyo; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and Centre Pompidou, Paris. Her solos have been organized by the various prestigious art institutions such as Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnati; Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol; and OK Center for Contemporary Art, Linz, Austria; as well as shows courtesy Galerie Yvon Lambert, Paris; and Galleria Continua, San Gimignano in Italy.
The series presents top artists in the confines of their own studios for an interaction about their motivations. Asia Society is an organization dedicated to promoting awareness and understanding across the fields of arts, culture, education, and business.
