An art soiree to encourage cultural art forms in Gurgaon

Horizon Plaza, Gurgaon witnessed a unique art soiree on the theme of ‘(Dis) Orientation and (Dis)Sonance’. The art soiree showcased the best of internationally acclaimed

ABARI Collective

from

Nepal

and

Desire Machine Collective

from Guwahati. The objective of the exhibition was to reinvigorate the local art forms besides sensitizing the visitors about the need to conserve cultural heritage. It integrated installations of two entirely contrasting genres of art.

Desire Machine Collective from Guwahati


The creation of Desire Machine coined as ‘Noise Life’ presented the deconstructed image sequences through the rhythm of recorded sounds. Based on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari called schizoanalysis, which deals with intense sensory experiences, the work depicted the noisy and chaotic, yet routine experiences of everyday life.

In contrast to Noise Life was the installation

Kora

by ABARI Collective. Kora is the prayer movement made in

Tibetan

Buddhist temples. The monks circle around the temple in a clockwise direction, rotating prayer wheels as they go. In this way, the walk becomes meditation and the audience is invited to release themselves from the ‘noise that is life’. It took three days to a team of people to put together the Kora at the Horizon Plaza.
