Emami Art is thrilled to open a group show of Indo-Swiss artists – there are tides in the body, curated by Damian Christinger on the 6th of November 2024. The exhibition features the recent works of extraordinary Swiss artists of the current times, spanning across generations – Nicole Bachmann, Lukas Bärfuss Mélanie Gugelmann, Michael Guenzburger, Thomas Kern, and Mara Züst and exeptional works by Indian artists – Ruma Choudhury, Radhika Agarwala and Naveen Kishore with two Emami Art represented artists, Santanu Debnath and Suman Dey.
An excerpt from the curatorial note by Christinger reads, ‘there are tides in the body evokes a powerful metaphorical connection between the natural world and the human condition. It suggests a rhythmic, cyclical quality to our physical and emotional experiences, reminiscent of the ocean’s ebb and flow. This quote encapsulates the notion that our bodies are not merely vessels or biological constructs; rather, they resonate with the forces of nature, reflecting our inner lives and experiences. The exhibition brings in artists from Switzerland and India together, explores the implications of the relationship between the body and nature, and how this interplay informs our sense of identity. Key writers, such as Virginia Woolf and Astrida Neimanis, provided valuable insights into these concepts, illustrating the depth of the connection between our bodies and the natural world.’
