Meditative performance sets the stage for KALA View(s):It says much that in a crowded room, abuzz with chatter and the excitement of an opening night, a young artist could, with very simple repetitive actions still the noise. Led by Saskia Fernando and TAKE on Art Magazine Editor-in-Chief, Bhavna Kakar (India), KALA looks to bring together not only artists but curators, collectors and writers from across the region to engage in a stimulating and sustainable collaboration. It was at the opening of the Shared Ground exhibition among an eclectic array of artists from different disciplines that this performance unfolded. They are all mid-career artists whose practices are ‘deeply rooted in socio-political, post-colonial, ecological, and material research’. ‘Shared Ground – South Asia in Conversation’, KALA’s expansive exhibition is now on at Level 3, 138, Galle Road, Colombo 3 and continues until February 15.
