‘Art stands midway between science and philosophy’
Does thought have a physical form? A Kochi Biennale collateral project, ‘Thought Is Also A Matter’, curated by Pune artist RAJU SUTAR, explores the nature of thought through a range of artwork, from paintings to installations. Sutar talks to The Indian Express about the importance of ‘now’, creating conceptual art and the controversy surrounding the Kochi Biennale
On two giant canvases, artist Raju Sutar has tried to capture the absence of thought. Titled ‘Entire Existence Is A Thought Except Now’, the works emerged from spontaneous action rather than a premeditated plan. “I am trying to look at the possibility of mutation to happen in the moment of ‘now’,” says Sutar. In his collateral project from Kochi Biennale , the exploration of the nature of thought is reflected in the works of the other artists as well. Sandip Sonawane has treated thought the way an artist would a subject — breaking it down into fundamental shapes. “The thoughts are complex in nature and we try to break them down to see whether it makes sense or not,” he writes in his conceptual note. Vaishali Oak has likened thought to a seed that grows into our tomorrows. The Kochi Biennale is one of India’s most prestigious art events and Sutar has brought a part of the project to Kalagram in Pune. Excerpts from a conversation:
