Event Description : "Codes of Culture" a group exhibition.

Works on view highlight a conceptual intersection of ideas and references alluding to codes of language, memory, structure, space, and culture.Highlighting multiple degrees of dimensions, individual pieces extend themselves from the visual plane to the auditory, chromatic and spatial. Repetitive elements silently nudge at the fixity of the grid, of our understanding of time, and the invisible frameworks that establish our patterns of perception. Questioning current contemporary art objecthood, the notion of communication becomes a crossover point for engagement.

As a window to enter the works, exhibition text has been conceived as a booklet of questions by Vasundhara Sellamuthu to open a dialogue on abstraction with viewers.
