Event Description : Bhavna Kakar presents "Everything Ends and Everything Matters" An Exhibition of Artworks by Anindita Dutta.
Almost shamanic in her ability to blow life into clay, Anindita Dutta is not self-conscious of her role as ‘creator’. Rather she wrestles with her own issues of impermanence, expending or ‘burning’ energy to conquer her state of transience and leave behind a 'permanent' mark. Through her performances and visceral interaction with clay, she exorcises her anxiety over the ephemeral nature of human existence.

Her sculptures and performances bear the marks of her restless energy as she covers her surroundings with heaps and chunks of clay, creating ‘living sculptures’, with her bare hands from the primeval material that connotes our genesis. She slathers every surface that she interacts with— from clothes, objects and living beings—with layers of clay that build up through the duration of her performance. Her work predominantly features herself as the primary actor and art object, but recently she has been working with other performers. No longer a solitary process, her works develop a collaborative aspect, akin to filmmaking, where everyone from the cameraperson to the actors becomes an important part of art making.

Currently at a residency at the verdant Sanskriti Kendra in New Delhi’s southern suburb, Anindita is preparing and documenting a body of work that primarily deals with clay sculpture and clay covered bodies that perform and interact with their surroundings. Her works inquire towards mortality and conflict. The softness of clay yields to her vigorous handmade furrows that become symbolic of the scars and indentations we acquire through the process of battling with the world. Anindita works with clay, one of the fundamental materials of the environment, yet her works do not dwell upon ‘environmental’ issues. Instead her works deal with the mindscape of the human environment, on an external and internal level.
