Time : 10:00 am - 10:00 pm
Entry : Free
Event Details : Select CITYWALK Invites you to Vibha Galhota’s Art Project.
FPublic Art Project by artist Vibha Galhotra involving a JCB Earth Mover Vehicle (Neo Monster) made of cotton stuffed fabric, will be placed in a public space so as to observe people’s interaction with the same. Vibha Galhotra manifests her observations of changing urban aesthetic in her surroundings as art. She looks into future conventions that we’d use as a means to tackle rapid urbanization and the problems that it brings. The earthmover is a symbol of this development and the project aims at looking at how people will cope with it, in a constructed context.
A brief biography of the artist and her work follows-
Vibha Galhotra is a trained graphic artist with a post graduation in graphic arts from Viswabharati University, Santiniketan. Her works that once explored the plight of the individual human being in existential situations have now found a new political and critical edge with her forays in to urban discourse.
“I believe that the cyclical nature of events governs our lives. Construction is the event of generation, Destruction of death and Reconstruction of re-birth. Every object has a life, every object has a point when it dissolves back into oblivion from where it came, and eventually it regenerates from the abyss into its own objectivity. The human cycle is attributed to the nothingness we call the absolute, man today has taken on the role of this absolute, believing that we, ourselves can control this cycle of life. My depiction of the same is the events that affect me, that make me question the moralities of today’s world. Words like sustainability and environmental issues seem to remain words in the capitalist dictionary. They are nothing but an antithesis to the actions of construction and destruction.”
