Locus Solus. Rasa*3 - an exhibition of Plastics Arts and Architecture at Instituto Cervantes, 48, Hanuman Road, CP > 11am-7pm on till 28th February 2013
Time : 11:00 am - 7:00 pm (Monday closed)
Entry : Free
Event Description : Locus Solus. Rasa*3 - an exhibition of Plastics Arts and Architecture.
Synopsis: In September-October 2012, three Spanish artists, Los Vendaval (Rocio Arevalo Vargas and Pablo Alonso de la Sierra Figueroa) and Montse Caraballo Caro, participated in the 5th NIV Art Centre International Artist Residency (Locus Solus: Rasa*12) in New Delhi. Exposed to the churning energy of the city for that brief period of time, they created the works shown anew in this exhibition at Instituto Cervantes. Thus, the incarnation of this formula: Locus Solus: Own Space (sort of akin to a room of one’s own); Rasa: aesthetics and emotions; * as a signifier and multiplier; and the number 12 to denote the 12 artists and the year 2012. Herewith, the numeral 3 has been inserted to denote the three artists. Inherent in the title, Locus Solus – meaning solitary or unique place – refers to the proto-Surrealist novel by Raymond Roussel (1914) in which a scientist named Canterel fits out luxurious laboratories in a villa near Paris. Each room demonstrates one of the ingenious inventions of his encyclopaedic mind. It considers the artist as a modern Canterel who distils his unique piece of art out of the components of fashion, design, architecture, film, music and information systems in his laboratory/studio. In asking how such an experience or time period will affect an artist and their work, it is necessary to step back and allow the sense of time to expand, to stretch into an unforeseeable future. A rasa (Sanskrit: रस lit. 'juice' or 'essence') denotes an essential mental state and is the dominant emotional theme of a work of art or the primary feeling that is evoked in the person that views, reads or hears such a work. How each of the artists shall proceed from this moment on shall prove exciting and unexpected.
