Nine Nodes of Non-Being

A group exhibition with works by nine artists, thinkers, filmmakers, and researchers from East, South, Southeast Asia, the MENA region, and South America. Curated by Ritika Biswas, it conceives of climate-related extinction through various states of negation and excess emerging from each of the nine artistic nodes to examine ways of existing more equitably within our ongoing crises. “The artistic worlds presented here are not merely signifiers of extinction but real propositions for the unknown … Through these excessive modes, we think about ways of non-being and the climate apocalypse itself in ways we have likely never considered—through kitsch, rest, cringe, bathos, abstraction, silliness, melancholy, madness, and the weird”.

The artists:

• Mariam AlZayani
• Fayçal Baghriche
• Clemencia Echeverri
• UNMAKE LAB
• Malik Irtiza Zara Mahmood
• Amba Sayal-Bennett
• Apichatpong Weerasethakul
• Ayman Zedani

Nine Nodes of Non-Being emerged from a year-long journey as part of the 421 Curatorial Development Exhibition Program in collaboration with The Bombay Institute for Critical Analysis and Research (BICAR).

To 31 December.
