Zindha Laash / Autozombie 2.0 | Renuka Rajiv
We are excited to announce our next inhabitant of Project_Space: Renuka Rajiv and their ongoing book explorations, spanning the last ten years.
Zindha Laash / Autozombie 2.0 brings together various meandering aspects of the book form, a key part of Renuka’s drawing and paper-based practice. As they remain interested in playing with the appearance of meaning through twists and turns with grammar and sense, the show—an itinerant display—will take shape with elements of collage and the structures of language, incorporating excerpts, fragments and different scales of denseness across different mediums and approaches.
Zindha Laash / Autozombie 2.0 will expand at Project_Space, through September and October, with an exploration of thinking through making and looking at immersive encounters with text, image and scrambled meanings.
Opening to the public: 6 September 2023, 6:06 PM onwards.
Come by for conversations, readings and more!
