Time, fluid and pausing for none, serves as an archive for political and social histories, containing within it both personal and collective experiences. Sands of Time II, the sculpture exhibition mooted by Hyderabad-based Kalakriti art gallery, has 17 artists exploring the transience of time. Curated by Suroopa Chatterjee, Sands of Time II has emerging artists and well known names presenting their interpretation of time.
This showcase is a follow-up to Kalakriti’s 2018 exhibition Sands of Time. Curating the second edition, Suroopa Chatterjee has been mindful of the fact that the world was forced to press the reset button owing to the pandemic. She encouraged artists to look at day-to-day happenings as well as reflect on larger socio-political events through their work.
