an interval between two non-occurrences

...Come to see and experience a few objects and ideas that found himanshu s...

The Guild Art Gallery presents an ‘environment-space experiential’ titled ‘an interval between two non –occurrences’ by himanshu s.

 

           himanshu s. tends to be a bit of an anarchist and very much a non-conformist. He presents us with opportunity to experience space in a new way.

 

Come and experience…. We can only elaborate further, after the experience….

 

As in his own words……………

 

“this event (for exhibition may not be the best word) will have work that is just there until it needs you and you need it…

…..no, one will not find anything entirely new….what previously was unimportant, taken for granted, invisible, will be seen to become central…

….everything deserves attention… everything can be interesting, depending on where or how you look at it, how much you are capable of observing the world or the things that the world is made of…

…its just that most of the time we are too rushed or too afraid to find out….

….yes ,we believe anyone can be an active reader of messages rather than being just a passive contemplator of the aesthetic or consumer of the spectacular….

yet, it will be upto the visitors,how far they indulge in the objects lying around … they may still neglect most of them…

….the objects include re-usable ‘left-overs’from two different kinds of worlds, one existed in …exists …or would want to choose to exist in …one, a world where one still feels that one can bring a change …a world where one is still striving for a change…..

…the other, the world we all originally come from …the world of eternal childhood … a world in which one never grows up, for growing up means giving up your dreams…a  world some of us long to get back to…

…both these worlds provide a temporary escape that brings us back to our own world with a deepened sense of its working…

ha…and with all this there is me …there to share my dreams with you …trying not to do anything but just being there…what me does is only initiate the work, me does not control it…

…it will turn on everybody who can be turned on & turn off everybody else…& that’s what its meant to do … for that’s how me survives… shaking off the dust from my shoes and moving on when nobody wants to listen…”
