Annual Exhibition 2023-24

Fabulations







Fabulations exhibits ten years of contemplation and riyaz at SEA drawing new contours and lines of conversation between diverse works while fabulating new possibilities to conceptualise and inhabit space. The exhibition is an invitation to visit, occupy, inhabit, play, read, make notes, debate, speculate and entangle oneself in the circuits of what it means to think of architecture from its multiple dimensions. Through these multiple forms of occupancy, Fabulations invites participants from all walks of life to engage with SEA’s works and build a conversation between those who imagine and those who produce spaces of inhabitation.

Earthworms dance, Elephants fly, Impossible assemblages do impossible things; Machines are made to punish loved ones

Drawings become means to draw the contours of deep relationships; it matters if these are faint, indeterminate, unending entangled, muddy, fuzzy or giant maps that one can walk on

Buildings are cooked, Objects, Spaces, Concepts, Experiences, and Relationships converge

Architectural type traces the contours of space as it shapes behaviour and creates affordances

What is a School? What is a Home? What is a Library? What is a Clinic? What is a Museum?

Diverse lives and environmental flows entangle to create space

Detail and Making coalesce

House becomes home

We dance with the rhythms of cities and their occupancies

Occupation turns into inhabitation

Contact with the world

Repairing life

Multifaceted Narratives

by Shrimanti Saha

Zoom Link

In this talk, Shrimanti shall discuss how in her art practice, drawing becomes a tool to unravel images and develop layered story structures with references from a range of sources like history, literature, mythology, science fiction, comic books, art history, miniature paintings, news reports, as well as memory, conversation and personal experiences. As an artist working majorly in the medium of drawing and painting; she shall share images of large scale drawing based works on paper and elaborate on the references in them, the process of making and the thematic implications that they may have as contemporaneous, layered narratives.
