As If - II : A Closing Opening

Closing event 
As If - II Flight of the Black Boxes

Talk will be from 6:00 pm to 7:30pm
On Tuesday 24th February 
at 24, Jorbagh
The exhibition will remain open till 8:30 pm

Do join us for a closing day talk with Ashok Sukumaran of CAMP, and Aastha Chauhan, Shaunak Sen and Srinivas Aditya Mopidevi who will offer responses and questions to parts of the exhibition. 

Ashok will also describe and show images from CAMP's ongoing As If exhibition series, a diverse landscape and topography of artistic moves. The third part of As If, titled "Country of the Sea" opened at the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum in Mumbai two days ago. This talk gives a moment to reflect upon, recognise, squeeze or test some of the things that are at stake in these exhibitions. 

About Flight of the Black Boxes:
Born in experimentation and uncertainty, black boxes of machines and institutions surround us with seemingly smooth and impenetrable functions. But reintroduce the uncertainty, reopen the conflicts, and the box appears stable in neither form nor function. Twelve works by CAMP look out through the unstable interior worlds of cameras, memory devices, surveillance systems, electricity and more, developing feelings and strategies alongside them.

In this pair of large-scale works, CAMP explore two sides of their practice; one that produces experimental film and video, often with unusual equipment and angles of participation, and another that creates and animates archives of moving images, documents and photography.
