Exhibitions

Last week i attended two very different exhibitions-Curve Art & The Ramayana.

Curve Art-by an Austrian artist Hans Schabus presents an installation of 461 chairs,dramatically arranged on a 90 degree angle along the crescent shaped wall. The chairs were sourced from Barbican Centre which depict the diverse nature of activities which take place there.






The Ramayana -over 120 paintings from the British Library 's lavishly illustrated 17th-century manuscripts of the story are on display.The exhibition explores the story of the Ramayana and how it has been represented and retold over the centuries and in different countries and cultures.
