Art lessons in condom wearing!

By: Ishita Sharma    

Believe it or not, an art show in town is all set to teach you how to slip on that pinkie right, apart from other things

Delhi's just reinvented the term 'quirky art'. Take a look at its new definition at the Art and Design Show, which puts up edgy artworks in limited editions. The creations make use of diverse media and materials like stone, glass and fibre optics among others. A peep.

Pest at its best!


The exhibition includes a wide variety of paintings and installations by varied artists. Aditya Pande, whose work is called 'Divine Pest', gives us an insight into his world. "I have used a simple graphic. The idea is to show how different situations produce different results, like my piece resembles a dancing goddess when placed vertically and when placed horizontally, it resembles a crawling insects. The idea is to show opposites as well."

Care-ful

The do also raises its voice on some of the major concerns of the country. Thukral and Tagra, two participants who have been working on a research project for the last two years, showcase their work 'Put It On'. "Our installation is based on the issue of AIDS. It shows flip-flops that display instructions on the correct way to put a condom," says Thukral.

Slop-in
"My installation is based on the popular object of relaxation, the bean bag.
I have given extensions to these, using leather and corduroy. They're fully functional and I have used a variety of funky colours to make them look interesting"
- Manisha Parekh
Wings of desire
"I have used real car headlights and rear lights for this installation. It symbolises the fast paced city life that we all live in. In a way, the automobile industry leads us to an all-time high"
- Vishal Dhar
