The show is titled Re-Visioning Materiality- II, which looks at artists who are using unconventional material for their work, bringing together dispersed elements in a fresh ensemble. Also this year, I am bringing together artists whose work talk about the aspect of the word ‘material’ as mortal and immortal. On one hand, using the term ‘material’ defined as ‘things that are material’, which emphasize the physical aspect of things, on the other hand, “something which can be worked up or elaborated, a time specific or site specific notion. The idea is that the artists are free to use this concept note as a starting point towards their own discourse on ‘materiality’, to reveal the nuances of the word through space and time.

This word ‘material’ is of interest to me as it has been in constant discourse through the 20th century, and as yet the notions are changing and shifting dramatically. What will be interesting is to bring about a new dynamism of this particular word, in a singular exhibition, which will make the show speak a language of the reality unseen.
