?IAAC | NYC | “Erasing Borders” | 2004 curated by Sundaram Tagore?Sundaram Tagore is a New York-based curator and gallerist. A descendant of the influential poet and Nobel Prize winner Rabindranath Tagore, he promotes East-West dialogues through his contributions to numerous exhibitions as well as his eponymous gallery. Sundaram was previously a director at Pace Wildenstein in New York. My work was among that of 27 others selected by Mr. Tagore.??SAVAC | Toronto | “Peace Taxi” | 2004 curated by Cyrus Irani?This project was inspired in part by the post-Sept. 11 experiences of taxi drivers, many of whom displayed the US flag out of patriotism as much as fear. The 14 artists chosen for the exhibition were each given an active taxi cab in which to create a site-specific installation. Playing within my taxi was a 'remix' of audio I had culled from street scenes in India, electronic beats and live instrumentation intended to merge with the local sounds. Passenger windows were covered in transparent photographs from these same streets, creating a tension of public/private, local/remote space.
?Kanoria Centre for Art | Ahmedabad, India | “Auracle” | 2003 curated by Nitin Mukul and Deepak Kulkarni?This installation artwork blended and remixed diverse modes and tools of ritual, ancient and contemporary mythological symbols, structures and improvised sound. A microcosmic model of the chaotic, pluralistic state of affairs currently holding the world’s stage and the ancient yet increasingly relevant use of ritual for securing one’s own personal space within it, leaping geographical and cultural boundaries that are often used as dividing mechanisms today. It draws parallels between and explores overlaps of events and culture across hemispheres within a local economy. ??D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival | 68 Jay Street, Brooklyn, NYC | 2001?An open studio exhibition as part of this annual event.??Contemporary Artists Center | North Adams, MA | 1998?A group exhibition featuring Berkshire area artists.??Augusta Savage Gallery | Amherst, MA | 1997 curated by Dr. Terry Jenoure ?A solo exhibition at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
