Event Description : Khoj International Artists' Association in association with Goethe-Institut, Max Mueller Bhavan, New Delhi presents "Nameless Here for Evermore" an exhibition of multi-media works by artists from across the globe.

Co-curated by New Zealand-based artist Leon Tan and Khoj International Artists' Association, the show includes works by Desire Machine Collective (India), Gauri Gill (India), Joshua Oppenheimer (USA), Leon Tan & Virlani Rupini (New Zealand/Germany), Marine Hugonnier (France), Navjot Altaf (India), Sean Snyder (USA), Sonia Jabbar (India) and  Wael Shawky (Egypt).

Nameless Here for Evermore brings together artistic practices that ask us to reflect on our implication in collective suffering, whether in the violence of Kashmir over the last decade, Punjab and Delhi riots of 1984, the occupation of Afghanistan, the 'greenhunt' in the forests of Bastar, the competition and alienation of capitalist Taipei, or the anti-communist purge of 1960s Indonesia. Our inability to adequately address and transform the wounds of collective trauma has often resulted in silence or stigma, and the erection of all kinds of psychic and social barriers. Many such traumas have proven resistant to treatment in the traditional psychoanalytic clinic, while the social core of these traumas has been left more or less untouched by the various psy-professions.

At the same time, the assembled works also suggest that artistic practice, free from the ‘logic’ of the psychoanalytic clinic, has the potential to resonate with, diagnose and change experiences of trauma, often with an unexpectedly new ‘language.’ Art can resist, it can remediate, it can heal. Each work exemplifies how artists can frequently go further than clinicians, because ‘the work of art gives them new means.’

Apart from the exhibition, there will also be a symposium titled Crisis and the Un/Making of Sense: Art as Schizoanalysis on January 10 and January 11, 2015, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm at Siddhartha Hall, Max Mueller Bhawan, New Delhi.

The speakers at the symposium are Ian Buchanan (Australia), Ana Paula Cohen (Brazil), Navjot Altaf (India), Amar Kanwar (India), Sonal Jain (India), Mrigank Madhukaillya (India), Leon Tan (New Zealand), Virlani Rupini (Germany), Lorna Collins (UK), Sheba Chhachhi (India) and Sonia Jabbar (India).
