EDGE OF CHAOS

Measures of Lucidity, curated by Jitha Karthikeyan, tried to deconstruct the complexities that plague our existence and to rethink the chaos and seek pellucidity

Gurugram Gallerie Splash showed an interesting mix of works as part of its ‘Measures of Lucidity’ group show. Curated by Coimbatore-based artist Jitha Karthikeyan, the show raised some pertinent questions through the works of seven artists - Zakkir Hussain, George Martin PJ, Parvathi Nayar, Muktinath Mondal, Arpita Singh, TV Santhosh and KM Madhusudhanan. The show was an attempt to deconstruct the complexities that plague our existence to rethink the chaos and to seek pellucidity lest we lose ‘what is’ amidst the cacophony of it all. Life and survival lie at the core of the minutiae we have missed or have chosen to ignore. The curatorial note talked of how we can find lucidity in all this if only we could navigate through complex social, political or economic layers to grasp them in our vision.
