Amol K.Patil discusses eco-cosmologies and climate/social/racial justice for Asia Forum and Asymmetry Art Foundation's One-Day Assembly on Global Asias ‘A World of Many Worlds’, as part of the official Collateral Events of the 60th edition of La Biennale di Venezia.
To ,Amol K Patil his artwork is an ongoing excavation and investigation to recapture the pulsating, vibrating movements and sound of the ‘chawl’ architecture and habitus.
After his education in visual arts, he initiated and was part of many practices with collective formations. It is in this dynamic ambience that he became interested in the crossover of performance art, kinetic installation, and video installation. He was intellectually drawn to the shaping of social systems and taxonomies of memory. From his family archive, Amol stages live settings, such as where a tape runs a conversation between a machine, a siren, and a mosquito, where the sound of the machine and the siren are recordings made by his father, an inheritance from someone long gone.
In his recent work Amol is expanding his research on the construct of urbanization and invisibility of the working class in emergent urban imaginaries. His project is to build counter-memory and contesting narratives that describe and disturb the relationship between humans and landscapes.
Amol K Patil (b. 1987, Mumbai) has shown at Hayward Gallery in London 2023, Kunstenfestivaldesarts, in Brussels 2023, Documenta Fifteen , Kassel, Germany, 2022, Kochi-Muziris Biennale, Kochi, India, 2022 Yokohama Triennale (Yokohama, 2020); amongst many others.
