This performance was part of 'The Nest' a group exhibition presented by Anant Art and curated by Aditi Ghildiyal. 12th June to 10th July 2020
‘Isolation’ and ‘repetition’ have been considered instrumental in the path towards achieving nirvana. Surprisingly, the global pandemic we are faced with has compelled us to immerse ourselves in this path. Isolated from the world, we are living in our 'nests' that have become protective sanctuaries for us. The act of cleaning– ourselves, our house, clothes, or utensils– has become a ritualistic practice. This time has brought us closer to our conscience, giving us an opportunity to introspect our thoughts and actions. The performance, ‘Stainless Steel Nirvana- Path of Atmanirbhar,' by Dimple Shah, will be a part of the upcoming exhibition ‘The Nest’ curated by Aditi Ghildiyal. This is the artist’s effort to portray an uncanny intermingling of circumstances in recent times. The artist's approach towards her art practice has been very profound, often taking weeks of research to compose her performances. This project has been an outcome of several discussions and brainstorming sessions that took place over the weeks and we dearly hope you will enjoy viewing it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
