"Spiral Jetty" A group exhibition of artworks at Gallery Nature Morte, A-1, Neeti Bagh > 7th August-7th September 2010
Time :
Event Details : Spiral Jetty with works by Anita Dube, Abhishek Hazra, Pushpamala N., Josh P.S., Jeffrey Schiff, Mithu Sen, Seher Shah.
"Spiral Jetty" refers to the famous earthwork by the American sculptor Robert Smithson (1938-1973). Constructed in 1970, the work consisted of hundreds of boulders arranged in the shallow waters of the Great Salt Lake in the western American state of Utah. The title also refers to the form of the spiral, that which turns inward, reflecting upon itself. The exhibition will address the subject of derivation in contemporary art. Usually used in a pejorative sense, "derivative" is, in fact, a condition of all human endeavor, as all aspects of culture and science build on what has come before. For the aware and progressive artist working today, derivation is a condition to be both acknowledged and confronted, certainly not denied or disregarded.
Much contemporary art today is both highly self-conscious of its antecedents and refers directly to its own patrimony or influences in its making. "Spiral Jetty" brings together the work of seven artists who work in a diverse array of mediums (including painting, sculpture, print-making, photography, video and installation).
