Home: Exhibitions: Hidden Beauty
Exibition "Hidden Beauty",Jokalata Gallery, New Delhi, India, April 11th to 20.th 2001
The exposition "Hidden Beauty" at Lokayata confronted you with a world which possibly looks familiar if you have lived in India for the last decades: a world and it's inhabitants, whose hidden beauty you may have overlooked, though it surrounds you daily.
You could watch portraits of Indian people and scenes from their lives, the inhabitants of the slums in Safdarjung Enclave and the kids at the intersection around Safdarjung.
Artist Karsten I.W. Kunert has documented the beauty of these outcasts and fellow humans we put to the edge of our society. His focus is to portray these people and their stories, to describe the landscape of their faces and the innocence of their children. Four months he had been working in the Indira and Rajiv Camp and neighborhood.
Together with a group of these people, approximately 40 children, Kunert produced a Mobilé installation. It was installed in the middle of the gallery space, surrounded by his colorful large format acrylic paintings and pencil drawings on paper. The name of the mobile was "Clouds of hands", and below was a rice donation as a gift of the show visitors for the slum dwellers.
The exhibition was well reflected in the medias and a successful event.
