SEA Pavilions
‘SEA Pavilions’ is an initiative by SEA to invite an architect to build an experimental structure on its campus.
Pavilions[1] have historically been outbuildings, tents, summer-houses, sheds, ancillary buildings semi open structures in the landscape, and temporary buildings in trade expos. The pavilion stands between a utilitarian building and a folie. For SEA this initiative is also a move to get away from the drawing board to the act of making space, experimenting with materials, spatial forms and a full-bodied engagement with architecture. This, we hope, will foster a larger ecology of experimentation and riyaz.
[1] Pavilion: a building or similar structure used for a specific purpose, in particular:
a building at a cricket ground or other sports ground, used for changing and taking refreshments.
a summer house or other decorative building used as a shelter in a park or large garden.
buildings used for theatrical or other entertainments.
a detached or semi-detached block at a hospital or other building complex.
a large tent with a peak and crenellated decorations, used at a show or fair.
a temporary building, stand, or other structure in which items are displayed at a trade exhibition.

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.
