(These are a few of our favourite works), is an exhibition that is a conversation between two gallerists. It is the first exhibition in the programme of the gallery space that is now called PHOTOINK and GALLERYSKE, New Delhi.
Curating artistic work and displaying it in a gallery is, above all, an intimate process. A gallerist must understand the work and help create the distinctive junctures in space: outside and inside, enclosed and exposed, light and dark that best help express and convey the inner motivations of the artist. The same space must work in different contexts to act as spaces of contemplation, of celebration, of self-discovery, of quietude, of memory. Gaston Bachelard鈥檚 reverie on the psychic power of the home led him to consider the relationship between a physical space and the emotional and psychological response to it in great and tender detail. An emotionally resonant space, to him was one that allowed for solitude and the spreading of the imagination. And to do that, it was necessary to allow, as he put it 鈥渢he exterior spectacle helps the inner grandeur鈥�. A successful exhibition, one would imagine, would have that as a goal, and achieving that sense of space and of practice involves a deep and difficult commitment. And as such, it is a deeply personal activity.
In that sense, the experiment of a dual gallery space as being planned by Devika Daulet-Singh (PHOTOINK) and Sunitha Kumar Emmart (GALLERYSKE) that involves two separate visions and practices involves an immense leap of faith. Given the particular intimacy of space, such a project can only be built on their mutual respect for the sensibilities of the other and a sense of being intrigued and open to the possibility of dialogue. The hope of such a partnership would be to leverage the strengths of each Gallery so as to create a 鈥榩sychically innovative鈥� environment, stimulate conversations and capacities that add up to more than the sum of their parts. The whole life world of the gallery that is created by the joint collaboration, it is hoped, will be one that is new and that will lead to a distinctive imagination of the possibilities of formal artistic expressions that transcend the imagination of a single curator.
