Bringing a larger sense of dynamism into the gallery space, Amol K Patil’s Black Masks on Roller Skates is built through sculptures, kinetic installations, drawings, holographic video, poetry and performance seamlessly to create what he tells us is an entire installation in itself. His upcoming solo exhibition at Project 88 is an excerpt of Patil’s larger exhibition at documenta fifteen in 2022 at Kassel, Germany. He shares, “At documenta fifteen, the show was a larger conversation about my whole community, and how they travelled from Konkan to Kolhapur, to Bombay which draws from my grandfather’s and father’s archives. My grandfather was a Powada (a traditional protest art form) singer and performer, and wrote poetry, while my father, Kisan Patil, a theatre activist.”
