At the invitation of curator & director Kristin Scheving of the LÁ Art Museum in Iceland, Bharati Kapadia and I had the opportunity of curating a videocorner 'Lucid Dreams' for their ongoing programme. Placed alongside two exhibitions 'Among Gods and Mortals: Icelandic Artists in Varanasi' and 'A Place' at the museum; the videocorner 'Lucid Dreams' alludes a state of being awake while one is still sleeping - something that encapsulates the experience of world living under turbulence today. In wanting to simultaneously stay awake while still be asleep at such times, 'Lucid Dreams' gathers 11 video works from contemporary artists in India that bring together worlds from past, present and future to collide into parallel geographies in which we could take temporary refuge.
'Lucid Dreams' goes live today at the LÁ Art Museum. The announcement of the programme can be viewed on their website here:
