O.P. Jindal Global University is pleased to invite you for our upcoming Artist in residency exhibition ‘Occurrences’ by Sonam Chaturvedi

Opening on 9th May, 17:00
Art Studio, O.P. Jindal Global University
Show on view till 31st May

In these present volatile times, where each moment is a struggle for survival and one gets entangled in life’s monotony, how can a slight shift, a soft utterance, a temporary happening, change the course of our obsessive routine?

Occurrences, exhibition of an art project by the same name, renders this space through the process of sending instructions, thereby inserting events and creating experiences to stir people’s monotony. O.P. Jindal Global University invited Sonam Chaturvedi for a residency in the months of March and April, culminating into this show. The artist was involved in a constant to and fro process with the Bachelor’s students at the University, sending the instructions via email.

Sonam Chaturvedi received her MFA from Shiv Nadar University, Delhi NCR and BFA (sculpture) from Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara. Time, memory and cognition are the primary and recurrent themes in her works.

She has been part of Utsha Foundation for Contemporary Arts (Bhubaneswar) and What About Art? (WAA, Mumbai) residencies, and various group shows in India. She is presently a teaching fellow in Salaam Baalak Trust, awarded jointly by ArtReach India and Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, Delhi.
