River Lin offers a reflection on cycles of waking and sleeping, presence and absence, transience, and labor in his durational performance Sleeping in between Tehching Hsieh and On Kawara. As the title suggests, the piece also gives a sly nod to two artistic forebears “from” Asia, Tehching Hsieh and On Kawara, whose work have also taken the marking of the passage of time as one of their prime tasks.
Loose Woman is the travels of a woman through and across media. What makes her loose is as much to do with the world around her, to the stuff that flows within her and, as mediated by, conjured, coaxed and driven by different mediums – theatre, sound, and camera.

This project presents ‘digital heritage’ experiences inspired by Goa. The Digital Heritage Play Lab encourages people to explore Goan heritage through emergent media experiences and platforms. We are surrounded by objects, places and practices that have been a part of the quintessential Goan household and community for centuries. The exhibit is a medley of heritage projects in immersive media and interactive storytelling showcasing works by three research and design collectives—Quicksand, Tandem, and Greenhouse—that work at the intersection of art, design, and technology.

This exhibition will showcase the work for four artists who were selected to be a part of a 3-month residency facilitated by Serendipity Arts Foundation. This residency, in its second cycle, was based equally in theory and practice, allowing the artists to create and collaborate with a group of their peers, and to connect with the artist community at large. In addition to the artists, this year, the residency also has a critic in residence.
A Serendipity Arts Foundation Initiative
Through the last two editions, the Young Subcontinent (YS) project attempted to chart the contours and sightlines of South Asian art imagination and art practice, illustrating and celebrating the lines of convergence, the commonalities in historical experiences, the entanglements of its cultural roots, and most crucially, its shared aspirations and dreams. These tapestries of art practices from across the continent meditated upon and mediated the complex social, religious and political spheres of life in the subcontinent. The geopolitical dynamics of South Asia is subject to several local, regional, national, and global factors.

This exhibition project for the Serendipity Arts Festival 2018 will be developed around the proposition of ‘the sacred everyday’ – the interrelationship between the domain of the divine, iconic, cosmic and sublime on the one hand, and the realm of the human, intimate, domestic and quotidian on the other. This interrelationship is articulated through ritual and festivity, vernacular translations, and the interplay of the sacred and the profane – which, in Indian culture, are not stark opposites, but two dynamic and interactive poles on a sliding spectrum of possibilities.

The curatorial concept informing the exhibition, “My Colour on Your Plate”, is to use the idea of a “map” as a metaphor, rather than a literal image. It seeks to move beyond the practical history and function of maps as the representation of territory and the boundaries of nation states, towards the way maps embody our desires, as a society and as individuals, to constantly make, unmake and remake our own identities. It also attempts to explore our relationship- as human beings, artists, citizens- to the familiar and the unfamiliar, the Self and the Other. Experienced and perceived through various kinds of difference and similarity it will seek to look for what we hold in common, as well as what we struggle to communicate across limits and distances.
