In Context : Public.Art.Ecology | Mar 2010 - Apr 2010

The first 'In Context: public.art.ecology' residency commenced at the beginning of March. The artists (from India, Germany, Japan and the USA) projects focus on interventions in the public sphere. The curatorial intent underlying the residency stresses on the dialogic aspect of the artists thematic and intervention. Projects range from mapping weather patterns and the effects of climate change on local communities; an interactive video sculpture; examining the signification of trees in the context of road zones; designing a tableaux that will interact with people around questions around conservation; building a natural biological water purification system; to one that traces the paths of people and their constitutive objects from Chandni Chowk to Gurgaon.

Artists talks are scheduled at 5 pm on the 12th, 19th, 26th of March at the FICA Reading Room

The Open Day of the residency is scheduled from the 8th of April 2010.

Maxine by Ritwik Banerji
The Dualist Inquiry by Sahej Bakshi

13th March 2010
Performance begins at 6:00pm.

"Maxine" is an agent developed with Max/MSP designed to do her own thing as an improviser. I seek to make her musical experience a free engagement with other improvisers. While I have dedicated a great deal of time to developing Maxine's instincts as an improviser, her performances here are without the aid of direct manipulation. I guess you could say she's "improvising." Ritwik Banerji

The Dualist Inquiry is the brainchild and solo project of Sahej Bakshi, a producer, guitarist and composer with a love and curiosity for all sounds electronic, melodic, cerebral and plain simple groovy.
