Aishwarya Sultania - In and out of the Heartscape

Aishwarya makes her concepts revolve around everything she experiences in her day today life. People, places, emotions, actions, expressions and what not. All the three works she is presenting at the residency focuses on her reflections on life. She draws the attention of the viewer in to personal landscapes of her heart and body movements. She presents it in multiple modes. In and out of the Heartscape talks about the stress one undergoes within oneself. As I look more deeper in to her there are two things that comes to my mind. One, the material the artist is using and how relevant it is to the nature of the art work. Since her work heartscape is all about the organic landscape and emotions the use of steel welding and electric wires does sound little strange to the nature of the project. Instead if she had used materials like cloth and natural fibres (say Banana papers, yarn, wooden infra structures,etc) it might have given a different sensibility to it. Secondly, she may need to bestow more of her attention on is the specificity. Call it thought process or human emotions the artist tends to homogenize the expressions. While I think it would gather more meaning by acknowledging the multiplicity in class and gender.Performance has been a way of appealing directly to a large public, as well as shocking audience into reassessing their own notions of art and its relation to culture. Her other project she doesn’t want to name is performance caught in the video. The artist brings out the images made during medical scanning and projects them as a form of art work.She explores with different mediums and is quiet excited in experimenting. Her project “Sswussh Aah!” is installed in the rest room. READ MORE >>>
