Tushar joag biography of abraham david

Tushar Joag, whose demise has elicited a soul searching whilst it may be temporary, that few others may inspire, since he propositioned for the self a kind of dissemination in art and society, conflating what is suspected to be mutually limiting, immiscible or even corrosive.

Tushar.

For bringing art and activism together may read like an inter-caste marriage that makes many people uncomfortable. He wanted to test the limits of such ideas. And this did not stop at ideas without. With every new venture he kept challenging himself, expanding the ambitiousness of the enterprise. Acts such as these symptomatic of human endurance tests or feats, push physical limits and bring the body into the performance.

Clearly, he meant to shape an elusive balance between art and conscience, ideological pursuits and its pitfalls. A shift took place in , upon taking up a residency at the Rijks Academy. He was brought in contact with several writings, where he was distressed to learn that the many woes ailing the third world were stemming from first world policy of profiteering and capitalist greed.

And later, to compound it, he surmised how even politically engaged practices sought affirmation of the white curator, institutions, big gallery representation towards the making of a top notch career and high billing of the incurring produce. He shut his studio during the open studio days, as an act of resistance destroying all his work.

Rome has been a milestone in the artistic life of David LaChapelle.

Returning back, he did not find appeasement with the world view he had formed; and he felt beleaguered in his outlook, and continued to destroy all his past work and associated documentation. The searching would aggravate it and the frequent disillusionment that followed meant that he would grapple and sometimes struggle with his faith.

Finding meaning, virtue, currency each time is a constant churn. Some go more hard at it than others. The exploration of the language of cinema, its totems find some resonance and continuity in younger works even today. A lot of the metaphors he resorted to in his art practice seem to belong to an urban dictionary.
