SUMMARY:We Live To Fight
DESCRIPTION:The Inception Grant solo show by Md. Zobayer Hossain Joati | Curated by Prima Kurien \nIn partnership with Triveni Kala Sangam \n  \nTo say that Zobayer’s photographs merely document a sparring culture that has gripped the\nunderbelly of Bangladesh would at best deliver a meek punch to the cheek; the knockout jab\,\nhowever\, comes when we realise what his images truly contain: an unbridled and volatile\ntension that has long gone unnoticed. \nNo more. With We Live to Fight\, Zobayer introduces us to the sweaty and dingy underground\nworld of flexed muscles\, black-and-blue bruises\, and cold staredowns – it is a spectacle\, a\nfloodlit circus of hidden arenas and second-rate halls where we glimpse the fighter in a constant\nstate of preparation for the fight of its life. These are figures that rarely sit idle\, and Zobayer’s\ncamera suspends such moments of exaggerated movement\, teasing the viewer that is ready to\nask for more. In such brooding and dramatic documents\, there emerges an implicit\nunderstanding between us and the photograph: both acknowledge the catastrophic obviousness\nwith which a fight shall end\, and yet\, Zobayer holds back from letting us see the finishing blow.\nHis images spiral us into a rancorous frenzy\, asking\, demanding\, to ‘let them have at it’; behind\ndrawn curtains and locked doors\, we are left to our baser instincts\, and this is where he zooms\nin for the bigger picture. \nZobayer’s camera remains sharply trained on the calculated and reactionary manoeuvres that\nare orchestrated in front of us. The black-and-white photographs – emphasising the timeless\nnature of such a sport and pastime – introduce us to artists\, boxers\, and wrestlers that not only\nhold our attention in a chokehold\, but also honour a legacy of martial arts that has dotted the\nBangladeshi landscape for decades. It is a landscape that continues to nurture traditional\npractices like ‘lathi-khela\,’ ‘boli-khela\,’ and ‘bhuttan\,’ along with modern day boxing and\nwrestling. Gore and glory go hand-in-hand; this is a world where mediated aggression becomes\na source of livelihood\, of upliftment\, of safety\, of pleasure. Zobayer’s images leave us with an\nintimacy of a life that exists beyond a scoreboard. It is what makes his practice dramatically\ninspiring\, for these are images that provide us with a courtside view of the lives of the fighters\,\nand not just the game. No longer impassive and anonymous\, and surrounded by chants and\ncheers (and boos and hisses equally)\, we see the godly deliverance of not a fighter\, but the\nfighter. It is the very story of a resilient nation fighting for its place; a story Zobayer narrates with\nprofound conviction. \nLet’s get ready to rumble\nShankar Tripathi\, 2023. \n  \nThe Exhibition will move to Art Incept\, Gurugram and will be on display until 25th November 2023.

SUMMARY:The Residue of Space and Body
DESCRIPTION:The Inception Grant Solo Show by Yashwant Singh | Curated by Rahul Kumar \nIn partnership with Triveni Kala Sangam \n  \nIt is fascinating to consider the idea of space\, and when does it really occur. Does it have to be\ncontained in physical boundaries\, or could it be a metaphysical idea? For Yashwant Singh space is\nan ever-changing continuum. He believes that humans are witness to this phenomenon. Having\ngrown up in urban cities and small homes with paucity of space\, he desired to engage with\nlocales where nature took over what was abandoned by the humans. In the process of this\nencounter and dialogue\, Singh found himself a part of the space. A meditative phenomenon\, he\nceased to see himself as a foreign identity. And in doing so\, his art has elements of romanticized\nreminisces of the past\, the déjà vu. He relates his body with the objects and space around it. He\nfinds a rhythm and coordination while wondering\, both physically and mentally. The filtration\nand imagination lead to his imagery where elements from nature often shape space with his\nown body. The use of twigs and grass allows him to explore the possibilities of his medium.\nThere is uncertainty and an unplanned approach through the very process he uses to create his\nwork. The physical manifestation for Singh is through his deliberate bodily gestures. The\nelement of chance is also akin to the very existence of the grass and bushes that grow\nseasonally. They are unplanned\, constantly changing\, and seem to exist without a particular\npurpose. The space they occupy are less interfered with by humans and they largely remain\nunnoticed. Singh creates unique mono-prints in real-size using these found elements. The\nprocess of image making for him is intuitive. The use of soot and carbon as a remanent of fire\nhave natural connotations of the residue\, the distilled matter on one side and the circular nature\nof our cosmos on the other. Metaphorically\, it is a confluence of nature\, body\, and space. The\nmonochromatic works of Yashwant Singh encourage viewers to experience the idea of\noverlapping occurrences and inter-relationships of space and body. \n– Rahul Kumar
