About the Exibition
Priyasri Art Gallery is pleased to present Untitled VII and Untitled VIII, two virtual exhibition series that we initiated on the onset of the lockdown. The artists in the exhibition are those whose work we admire and who have been connected to our organisation in the distant past and recently. The series of Untitled stands as a response to the situation, we attempted to initiate a dialogue for the artists and connect them with the audiences, it has brought together a diverse range of emerging artists who were consciously chosen and put together.
In concurrence with the current scenario, Untitled VII explores the interaction of artists with their everyday surroundings. The visual documentation by the artists as they experience isolation reflects upon the varied effects it has had on different communities, both physically and psychologically. The inner dialogue of the artists as they act as witnesses of the ‘mundane’ provides an analysis of the morphologies of social structures that exist in society. The exhibition represents spaces where different identities converge and unravel the narratives that are now overlooked as the ‘new normal’. In an attempt to create a dialogue regarding different artistic oeuvres, Untitled VII raises questions regarding the normalised sights of social, political and economic uncertainties as well as the position of an individual which is affected by the radical shift in the worldviews due to the pandemic.
Untitled VIII Is an ongoing virtual exhibition series that we initiated on the onset of the lockdown. The artists in the exhibition are those whose work we admire and who have been connected to our organisation in the distant past and recently. The series of Untitled stands as a response to the situation, we attempted to initiate a dialogue for the artists and connect them with the audiences, it has brought together a diverse range of emerging artists who were consciously chosen and put together. The series will run until it gets completed till Untitled X. With art spaces closing doors; currently, the question is “how do we stay relevant in a post-COVID-19 world?
