Event Description : Artist Samar Singh Jodha’s latest enterprise – Outpost – is a visual essay on a global culture, where individual aesthetic notions are framed by commercial interests, and homogenised to such a degree by mass media that spontaneous individual expressions often emerge as accidental bi-products of non-aesthetic pursuits.
He highlights this unusual state of affairs via a pictorial trope of discarded containers, fashioned into habitat by miners in India’s pristine northeast. Outpost was part of the individual artist showcase at Venice Biennale 2013
About the works: Jodha foregrounds his work with people given to excavating precious minerals from the earth’s womb to keep the engines of the same mass culture and industry running, adds poignant irony to his endeavour. Broken people represent the interplay of narratives, along with their robust expression, unraveling the threads of a global technopoly thatpromises a rosy future to many of us via rapid innovation, while simultaneously condemning many others to centuries-old regression.
In deploying photographic imagery as the foundation stone of this work, Jodha summons a visual discourse that is rooted in documentary practice, yet is scarcely mimetic of that art form.
About the artist: Samar Singh Jodha is an artist who over the last twenty years has been using photography and film to address various issues like development, human rights and conservation. His work has been showcased in galleries and museums in Mumbai, Delhi, Barcelona, Boston, Frankfurt, London, New York, Queensland and Washington DC. Amnesty International at the 2012 London Olympics showcased his 40foot installationBhopal-A Silent Picture.
Jodha’s eight-year long project on ageing in India remains the single biggest social communication project in terms of outputs and outreach. Extracts of it were showcased at Whitechapel Gallery, London and Fotomuseum, Zurich in 2010.
