Curated by Amanda Abi Khalil
12 February - 10 May 2019
We are pleased to share that Vikram Divecha will take part in a group exhibition at The International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP), New York, entitled Living Room: UIT (Use it together) a collective sitespecific proposition by resident curator Amanda Abi Khalil.
This exhibition includes a television channel with videos that comment on the aesthetics of participatory approaches in social art practices. Inspired by artist Hélio Oiticica’s discussions of Eden and theorist Stephen Wright’s concept of Arte Útil, Living Room takes over an exhibition space that usually triggers modes of spectatorship. Turning ISCP’s Project Space into a room for living, a shared space—by altering its function to a space of usership, created, used and activated (together) by the people who inhabit it—transforms its capacity to frame what is displayed inside it as art.
