With this dynamic and playful installation, Indian artist Asim Waqif (pictured) challenges the viewers’ ideas on authorship and the preciousness of artwork.
Museums are typically places of pristinely preserved objects. Secured behind glass and roped off from curious hands, the importance and value of a work is protected in climate-controlled rooms with the artist’s vision frozen in time for posterity. Frustrated by this distance between artwork and viewer, Waqif’s pushes against the formality we come to expect from typical museum experiences.
Waqif has designed opportunities throughout the run of the exhibition for the public to participate, allowing them to freely compose and re-compose the installation.
