October 2018: ArtBuzz Studios is pleased to announce Surface: 01, an exhibition of
emerging artists which will take place at ArtBuzz Studios in Okhla, New Delhi
on 13 and 14 October 2018, with a preview on 12 October.
ArtBuzz Studios, founded by Anubha
Gupta and
Amisha Chowbey,
is an open, artist-friendly venue for creative individuals and a place where
artists can create in a community, meet fellow artists as they progress in
their artistic journeys. It leaves room for exploration and experimentation,
opening up a dialogue and extending the exhibition space to artists outside the
gallery.
The exhibition will
showcase 31 emerging artists from across the country, including Abhinav Chowbey, Ankit Khurana, Arjun Sara, Devki Modi, Kritika
Anand, Waleed Zafar, Samriddhi Kukrja, Shivangi Ladha, Siddharth Sarohi, Smriti
Sangal, Vernika Prakash and Yashika Sugandh, amongst many
others.
Anubha
Gupta,
co-founder at ArtBuzz Studios says “We
wanted to support the phenomenal amount of young talented artists in Delhi, who
lack a space and platform. What started as an idea to promote artists who
co-create at ArtBuzz Studios, evolved into an open platform encouraging
creative exchange, and dialogue whilst also assisting young artists in
developing their careers. Surface: 01 has been our most ambitious project to
date.”
Amisha
Chowbey,
co-founder, says “We’re enjoying every
bit of the madness, shortlisting and curating, meeting talented artists along
the way and sharing our passion for the growth of art. The first of many more
to come, we’ve always looked forward to a project that explores the potential
of ArtBuzz Studios in the way it was intended to be. We really hope the young
creative community in Delhi will support our exhibition and come to the preview
on 12 Oct.”
Highlights of the interdisciplinary
exhibition include Arjun Sara's work with the geometric form of circles in the
series titled : 'Sara Substance';
Prasoon Poddar's artwork titled ‘Hey...Rama’
which weaves in the concept of soiled currency notes that were collected over a
period of 2 years, and Devki Modi Jain's video art 'somewhere. everywhere. nowhere' that explores the idea of a pichvai
(screen).
This is a
unique opportunity for young artists to showcase their work to the Delhi art
world, grow and develop their careers. ArtBuzz Studios will offer advice and
guidance to short-listed applicants on how they can promote their work,
introducing them to collectors and covering exhibition installation costs. ArtBuzz
Studios will not take commissions from art sales - the full proceeds from
artworks sold will be given to the artist.
