SHILPA GUPTA
(India)
“Art comes from the unconscious, which is a free space. With majoritarianism taking over, the space to speak differently and critically is shrinking. Will be good if interested artists can join hands with activists to creatively think of visual strategies for public spaces – be it online or offline.“
Shilpa Gupta 2019
Shilpa Gupta (born 1976 in Mombai, India) is a contemporary Indian artist, who lives and works in Mumbai. Her mediums range from manipulated found objects to video, interactive computer-based installation and performance.Gupta is interested in human perception and how information, visible or invisible get transmitted and internalized in everyday life. Gupta is constantly drawn to how objects get defined, be it places, people, experiences and her work engages with zones where these definitions get played out, be it borderlines, labels and ideas of censorship and security.
Shilpa Gupta, 1976 in Mumbai geboren, erforscht die Freiheitspotentiale zwischen politischer Geographie und persönlicher Erinnerung und Phantasie: Etwa wenn sie 100 Menschen bittet, die Grenzen ihres Landes aus dem Kopf zu zeichnen und die Ergebnisse übereinanderlegt.
