AV 2021 ART CAMP
This is the rigorous chronological succession of the seven days in which the artists ventured into their creations... enjoy! AUROVILLE ART CAMP 2021 Sri Aurobindo and the Mother assign a highest status to Art which serves as revealer and teacher of a quest for the All-Beautiful. In this spirit, we decided in 2018 to organise an Artist camp with Artist residency taking place in Auroville for artists. Art is a profound centre of this journey towards the future. The Ambition of the previous art camp which took place in 2019 was to try to evoke a New World. By organising an art camp with artists from all over India, we tried to create a concentrated atmosphere in which we could work on this new world to come through Art and the search of Beauty which is an ideal to be. The Art Camp focuses on the collaboration of Indian national artists with Aurovilians artists, working on a specific theme during one week. One of our intentions is to create a bridge between Aurovilians artists and Indian national artists. Art Students are also invited to participate as this is a great platform for exchange and learning. The theme of this second edition of the Auroville art Camp is the "City of Dawn" for which the selected artists will work on their own interpretations One of our inspirations to choose the theme was sever - al passages of Savitri, the epic poem of Aurobindo Ghose and of course by what the dawn represents in a symbolic manner. We published a call for artists which lasted two months. We received applications from Auroville of course, and from all over India, many of them coming from New Delhi, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Telangana and Karnataka. The diversity, richness and quality of the bodies of works we received, was stunning. We have gone through strong and inspired artists statements. Their interpretations of the theme the “City of Dawn" have been, for many of them, so unique, with so much sensitivity. Regarding the students category, we received applications mainly from students of the Art Colleges of Santiniketan, JJ Mumbai and Jama Millia Islamia. We selected 8 Indian Nationals artists, 9 Aurovilian artists, 1 Indian national art student and 2 Aurovilians art students. In this catalog we wish to introduce the selected artists and art students of the Auroville Art Camp 2021. Herve Curator and organiser of the Auroville Art Camp
