Ranbir Kaleka "Fables from the House of Ibaan: stage –I"
Bose Pacia
This event has ended.
The title work of the current exhibition, Fables from the House of Ibaan: stage 1, depicts a man seated at a table in his home. As the scene unfolds the viewer gets the sense of the passage of time as the central figure's life carries on around him while he sits contemplatively. As time passes the large jug (both proverbial and literal) of milk is filled and emptied. For Kaleka, the work itself can be seen as a suspended entity whose teleological function is one of spacio-temporal relations. As an artist whose earlier career was met with much acclaim for his painting, Kaleka has challenged the typical demarcations of media by developing a medium which contains elements of both video and painting. He is able to animate the otherwise still surface of a painting while simultaneously giving form and space to the light and fleeting presence of video.
