Chance, Chaos and Catharsis entails our existence. Each element in its hidden or apparent form, traces the unique synchronicity between them. Artists, philosophers and scientists are constantly unveiling this trigonal relationship.
The exhibition ‘Chance, Chaos, Catharsis’, proposes to rediscover these theories in our everyday experiences as language, ideologies and formations. As disparate as the title, the exhibition aims to critically examine the contrasting conditions surrounding us woven by the element of chance or chaos that transforms the sterile into an experiential existence.
‘Chance, Chaos, Catharsis’, curated by Jesal Thacker, presents artists Aaditi Joshi, Atul Bhalla, Kaushik Mukhopadhyay, M Pravat, Mark Prime, Navin Thomas, Pooja Iranna and Shivani Aggarwal.
It represents artists that intermingle these complex nuances with the ease of the mundane using sounds, objects, narrations and abstractions that directly reflect the banal repetitiveness. Redefining the identity of the 'everyday' the artists construct, weave, reuse, carve and assemble a language and form that has layers of visual cognizance, memory and experience. The formal elements remain intact but the compositional framework transforms to echo the interdependency of ‘Chance, Chaos, Catharsis’.
