MUSEOGRAPHIES: BANGALORE...

Soon after launching the Museographies project, at Srishti, I took a trip to City Market, on the first Sunday, and bought four used bicycle seats made of colorful plastic; which I selected from a group:
I bought them with a specific use in mind; a use which would transform the seats into something else — the 'X' factor — whilst retaining their value as ethnographic objects and cultural artefacts.

Here is the result, which I tested with the curator of the Pitt Rivers Museum,Oxford; some collectors and two other curators in the UK; with a few colleagues here, as well as with some people I met in Bangalore (an artist at CKP; a businessman at GPO...); and now with you...



A new addition to my 'MUSEOGRAPHIES' series, which I plan to 'smuggle' in the Pitt Rivers in Oxford (alongside 'Four Masks'), as an example of an on-going POETIC VISUAL ANTHROPOLOGY.

Wishing you a HAPPY CONTINUATION with your Art and Design Explorations...
