Project

Given that India boasts a rich and fertile tradition of dance and theatre, it is interesting that the move towards performance in the visual arts has not been particularly palpable. The 2004 International Residency at KHOJ explored an art form that continues to raise eyebrows and throw up questions about the nature of art practice. The artists in residence from Jakarta, Belo HoriZonte, Brazil, Amsterdam and Mumbai came from diverse backgrounds, ranging from theatre to studio-based performance. It was an intense period of working together, towards exploring notions of body, materials, space and time.
