Kochi, Dec 14: For the primary time, as a part of the fifth version of Kochi-Muziris Biennale, an ‘Idam’ (Malayalam for house) for the exhibition of latest artworks completely for Malayali artistes which incorporates 200 works of 34 artists was thrown open on the Biennale venue.
Conceptualised by well-known artists and curators Jiji Scaria, Radha Gomathi, and P.S. Jalaja, ‘Idam’ consists of works of 16 ladies artists too.
Curator Jalaja mentioned artists have the potential to beat private sufferings and rework their experiences via artwork to completely different creations which could be witnessed in ‘Idam’.
“A diverse range of artists who have overcome, or are fighting to overcome, various social, political and personal challenges are taking part in the exhibition. I feel this is the merit of ‘Idam’. When constant setbacks transform into survival, it gifts something beautiful through art,” mentioned Jalaja.
Another curator, Scaria mentioned Kerala artists come out with works having up to date worldwide attraction, which ‘Idam’ makes evident, whereas his colleague Gomathi opined that in a kaleidoscope, colored items of glasses turn into superb visible treats and ‘Idam’ is just like that.
At the inauguration of the exhibition, Biennale Foundation president Bose Krishnamachari, Kerala Lalithakala Akademi Chairperson Murali Cheeroth and secretary Balamuralikrishnan honoured the curators.
The exhibition will proceed until curtains fall on the Biennale on April 10, 2023.
