@tagore
There
is a space in front. Artists meet on the subject of Rabindranath
Tagore in a Loudon Street Gallery.
The
Gallery Upstairs and Performers independent put up an exhibition
titled @tagore during the last week of March 2012. The
show will be inaugurated on 23rd
March, Friday 2012 at 5.00 P.M. The venue is Gallery
Upstairs, 16,
Loudon Street, Kolkata – 700019.
Individuals
from diverse disciplines such as Painting, Sculpture, New Media,
Performance Art & Science will participate in sharing and
presenting their respective reflections on Tagore or rather their
very personal looking at the master.Need
not dare to work on him. We look at Tagore. It is that our positions
in the collective are different and so are our views or seeing. From
looking at Tagore from our isolations and the solitude of the
collective we develop this show which we name @tagore.
Apart
from traditional media like paintings and drawings we will try to
present other practices alongwith. We will have a special day of
performance when the famous dialogues between Tagore & Einstein
will be cultivated with interventions of music and visuals. This
interactive performance was performed in the Kala Bhavan
Shantiniketan and also in the hall of Indian Association for the
Cultivation of Science in recent times.
We
have also a very near and contemporary touch with Germany in the
exhibition since we have among us our artist friends Sylvia Winkler
and Stephan Koperl working for the show.
With
multiple perspectives collaborating we look forward. We don’t
illustrate, but intervene.
