Project By Serendipity Arts Residency 2022
Serendipity Arts Residency is an intensive studio-based residency for emerging artists. It seeks to provide its residents space and resources to develop their practice, work on a new project and interact with the broader art community in New Delhi. In the course of the three months, the four artists selected for the programme participated in a lineup of peer-to-peer conversations, critique sessions, gallery and studio visits, artist talks and presentations. The work on display will be a further evolution of what was showcased at the Open Studio in New Delhi in September.
Project By Edwin van der Heide
In the installation ‘Pneumatic Sound Field’ a continuum is being created between rhythmical perception of sound, spatial perception of sound and the perception of pitch. A horizontal plane of pneumatic valves is used to produce wind, pressure and sound. The result is a breathing sound environment above the audience.
Project By Serendipity Arts Grant
Supported by Serendipity Arts Grant, the work Invisible Corridors, a project on animal road kills, attempts an expansion in our perception of space and sentience. The exhibition has come together through the artist’s reflection on the numbness that follows extinction; navigating through co-existing thoughts on loss and ways in which grief is ‘arrived at’ and ‘processed.’ The display for this work, divided in three parts, will be based on reflections from Hrishitonoy Dutta’s primary field research. Disappearing Act mimics the movement of light on the road, confronting loss; the Grieving Machine is a cold lifeless machine in a constant state of dilemma, both grieving for and causing death. The last work, Highway Hypnosis delves into seemingly mundane recollections that acknowledge the presence of life other than ourselves.

Project By Serendipity Arts Virtual Grant
SUNO (सुनो) is a new media experiment supported by Serendipity Arts Virtual Grants, exploring the intersections between the art of storytelling and digital soundscapes. Traversing the physical and virtual worlds, sensorially and symbolically, it recreates an obscure site based in the city of Delhi through aural immersion. In a world where overconsumption of disconcerting visuals has desensitized us, Suno will invite you to engage, empathise and discover a hidden landscape through digital storytelling.

This photo project supported by Serendipity Arts Grants documents the entire process of the production of Manalmagudi Drama Group’s play, ‘Puzhuthimarap Paravaigal’ up to the time it is staged. This includes capturing the various stages of rehearsal, design, music creation, portraits of cast members and travels. The play tells the story of angels that were martyred beneath landslides and floods of hatred created by mankind through the spread of war and violence. Laundress, the Aphrodite of the fossils resurrects these angels with the ray of nothing but love she is woven with. A gentle river of hope flows again restoring even the most hateful hearts from the dungeons, uniting them, opening up a new primitive space for healing and creating, building upon the transformative power of the unfettered, wild and natural feminine.
Project By Asia Art Archive India
‘Under the Influence: Books that Inspire Artists’ is a travelling library featuring one hundred titles, from across multiple genres, chosen by artists at the invitation of Asia Art Archive (AAA). For many art practitioners, “reading” is a starting point for their work, a process that permeates their practice. Books can spark artworks and influence continuous processes of inquiry.

The site-specific installations for Chilika Dialogues were developed and supported by the Serendipity Artist Grant (Visual Arts Research) and are currently being executed in different part of Lake Chilika, Odisha. Through this project display, the attempt will be to think-through the installation not only as a culmination of Chilika Dialogues, executed during the grant period, but also to incorporate core elements from which the project was realised such as the important poets, leaders, events and case-studies associated with the conversations around Lake Chilika through an immersive installation.
