Posted @withregram • @exhibit320 We have been working diligently on this catalogue for a year. From Director Rasika Kajaria's now, it has essays from our curators - Shaleen Wadhwana, Delhi, and Dr. Lise McKean, Chicago. Historians such as Zohreen Murtaza, Pakistan, have also contributed in this endeavor, along with artists Mahwish Chishty and Gunjan Kumar's statements about their inspiration for the past seven years of making The Sindhu Project. We have curatorial notes for all the artworks penned by Shaleen, and the available 3D map of the exhibition as well.

Posted @withregram • @exhibit320 Masonry layers from Taxila - inspiration for laser etchings Chishty uses masonry patterns found in Taxila sites, dating back to 2nd century, in her large installation titled: اِک نقطے وچ گل مکدی ہے / At this one point, all talk ends. Chishty reflects on time and heritage as an intertwining of past, present and future are expressed in the historical sweep of sources for the engraved patterns. Some patterns derived from photographs of decorative elements associated with Gandharan pots and Ajrak textiles of Sindh as well as photographs of masonry and sculpture at Taxila sites. Other sources include motifs traversing centuries of miniature painting and architectural elements from the Lahore fort, rebuild during the Mughal Empire in the 16th century. #gunjankumar #mahwishchishty #exhibit320 #exhibit320gallery #Exhibit320Delhi #Openingsoon #southasiainstitutechicago #contemporaryart #southasianartist #indusvalleycivilization #taxila #exhibitionopening #openingreception #thesindhuproject #southasianartist #southasiainstitutechicago #chicagoartist #chicagogallerynews #thevisualist #artexhibition #dharmarajikastupa #teastains

Buddhist Votive Stupa, Mohra Muradu site in Taxila Chishty derives inspiration from the Buddhist votive stupa at a Gandharan site in Taxila. The stupa form is rendered to scale as thin acrylic disks to compose multiple horizontal installations. #gunjankumar #mahwishchishty #exhibit320 #exhibit320gallery #Exhibit320Delhi #Openingsoon #southasiainstitutechicago #contemporaryart #southasianartist #indusvalleycivilization #taxila #exhibitionopening #openingreception #thesindhuproject #southasianartist #southasiainstitutechicago #chicagoartist #chicagogallerynews #thevisualist #artexhibition #dharmarajikastupa #teastains

We begin our explorations at Dharmarajika, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Taxila located in modern day north Pakistan where Mahwish Chishty focuses her investigations for The Sindhu Project. The sites of Dholavira in Gujarat and Sanghol in Punjab, part of the Indus Valley Civilization, were noted not only for their sophisticated urban planning, but also for their advanced techniques in pottery and metals.These are the sites artist Gunjan Kumar focuses her research on.

The Sindhu Project juxtaposes the sleek amplitude and rhythmic energy of Chishty’s suspended etched acrylic installations with the subtle dimensionality and tactile sensuousness of Kumar’s organic works. The show was conceived in a modular format. The complete body of works was showcased at the South Asia Institute, Chicago in June 2021. One half of the work was exhibited at the NCAs’, Zahoor-ul-Akhlaq Gallery in November 2021. The other half will be show cased at Gallery Exhibit320, New Delhi from 14th April – 28th May 2022 #gunjankumar #mahwishchishty #exhibit320 #exhibit320gallery #Exhibit320Delhi #Openingsoon #southasiainstitutechicago #contemporaryart #southasianartist #indusvalleycivilization #taxila #exhibitionopening #openingreception #thesindhuproject #southasianartist #lahore #southasiainstitutechicago #chicagoartist #chicagogallerynews #thevisualist #artexhibition #dharmarajikastupa #teastains

The Sindhu Project embodies responses of artists Gunjan Kumar and Mahwish Chishty to explorations of archaeological sites and artifacts in the expansive Sindhu (Indus) watershed, a geographical region stretching across northwest India and much of Pakistan. Chishty’s sleek amplitude and rhythmic energy of etched acrylic installations is juxtaposed with the subtle dimensionality and tactile sensuousness of Kumar’s organic works. #TheSindhuProject will be on view from June April 14 - May 28, 2022 @rasikakajaria @mahachishty @gunjan_kmr @southasiainstitute @shaleenwadhwana @the_sindhu_project #gunjankumar #mahwishchishty #exhibit320 #exhibit320gallery #Exhibit320Delhi #Openingsoon #southasiainstitutechicago #contemporaryart #southasianartist #indusvalleycivilization #taxila #exhibitionopening #openingreception #thesindhuproject #southasianartist #southasiainstitutechicago #chicagoartist #chicagogallerynews #thevisualist #artexhibition #dharmarajikastupa #teastains #acrylic #acrylicartwork #acryliclasercut
