Shaurya Kumar’s There Is No God In The Temple comes at a time when the country’s relationship with the ‘sacred’ is charged with the immediacy and violence of public emotions. His work is concerned primarily with the politics of the artefact. Conceptual arcs of erosion, memory and reappropriation of divine meaning in an evolving game of material presence and absence, form the contours of the various works delicately rendered in a variety of mediums. The show was held at Gallery Threshold from the 1st of November, 2022, to the 15th of February, 2023.
