“One position, one voice, lacks dialectical resonance... [dialogue offers] a latticework of thoughts and points of view that interweave and complement each other”
Suzi Gablik, Art critic and artist
The KHOJ 1999 workshop was marked by intense dialogue and debate and much of the work produced, as the following pages will reveal, was underlined by a strong socio-political conscience. Simultaneously, the work of performance based artists, Michael Shaonawasai from Thailand, Song Dong form China, Anne Marie Culhane from the UK and Subodh Gupta, India blurred boundaries and provided interesting overlappings between performance as art/performance art.
It has been our endeavour over the years to integrate various art forms and via KHOJ, provide a forum for such experimentation. We thus invited exhibition designer and theatre person, Sumanth Jaykrishnan to interact with the artists at Modinagar. His response was an installation using elements of the artists’ work which was showcased at the British Council.
