Event Description : Outset India & Gujral Foundation is pleased to announce ‘The Silent Call of the Earth’ a solo exhibition by Achia Anzi.

“In the shoes vibrates the silent call of earth, its quiet gift of the ripening grain and its unexplained self-refusal in the fallow desolation of the wintry field.”
— Martin Heidegger.

Every object possesses its own aura and mystery. By simply existing, each object reveals something that cannot be revealed through science or even philosophy. To paraphrase German philosopher, Martin Heidegger, it is the ‘thingness’ of the object that remains its secret, one that is shared and revealed, only if you spend time with it.  Then you may hear some of those secrets whispered to you in the abandoned room, with the metronome ticking softly and the parking meter, transported from foreign lands, standing still in time.

Israeli artist, Achia Anzi, has taken over the Gujral Foundation experimental art space at 24 Jor Bagh, that has played host to innumerable artists. It is here that he stages his artistic interventions. He has quoted the incongruent and the surreal to create a dialogue around the changing significance of the earth in relation to mankind, as an investigation into ‘what is art and how we can re-discover its wonderment.’ 

About the Artist
Born in Israel, 1979. Achia Anzi did his MFA & BFA in Sculpture from the University of Rajasthan, in 2004-­2010, Diploma and BA in Urdu Honors, from The National Council for Promotion of the Urdu, in 2008. He also obtained MA in History of Art from the National Museum Institute, New Delhi, 2011 and has been living in India for the last 10 years. 


His first solo was Peaceful be your return O lovely bird, from warm lands back to my window… at Gallery Threshold, in March 2012. The artist deals with the spiritual crisis (besides the political and the Social) Israel is experiencing and also his own personal feelings towards the place he hails from. Many in Israel claim that the Zionist dream is over, that now one stands on a different point, which could be called post Zionism. The Artist desires to reflect again, through his sculptures, on those old ideals and vision, not in order to reawaken them from their eternal sleep but as a gesture of mourning and longing. He uses iron, plaster, tin sheet and scrap materials for his sculptures and sculptural installations. The works are crude, coarse as to convey feelings of pain and destruction. His second solo exhibition Land of Nod was at Gallery Threshold, New Delhi in January 2015.
