At Nature Morte in Delhi’s Dhan Mill compound, artist Murari Jha presents ‘The Future of Nostalgia’, a solo exhibition that turns memory, nostalgia, and everyday objects into various sculptural forms. On till May 17, the exhibition features works made from materials such as stone, bronze, wood, brass, aluminium and synthetic putty.
Through abstract and familiar-looking forms, Jha explores ideas of home, migration, memory and belonging. Besides being a visual artist, Jha is also engaged with performance art. He started with painting before moving towards performance during his time in Delhi, as he realized that performance could even become an extension of paintings and artworks, while also helping him understand his relationship with time, space, and the audience.
A live durational performance will also be held at Nature Morte on May 16, where Jha will perform within the exhibition space alongside his works. He describes the ongoing show as an “extended form of performance”, where the gallery space functions like a stage for the artist, and the sculptures act like performative objects or theatrical props.
