The Maze
An exhibition of collaborative installation and collaborative performance art by Bandu Manamperi and G.R. Constantine - Sponsored by Theertha
Concept Note: The maze
Ours is an anesthetized society. We are oblivious to the other’s pain. We have lost our capabilities of either empathizing or sympathizing.
The weapons of “mass instruction” give us the view of a distant theatre. Our living rooms become the safe pavilions for watching far away wars and killings. We are the cheering spectators.
We have found psychological mechanisms to justify our collective amnesias and have anesthetized ourselves to block out traumatic experience of the society.
Once we are in this world of decadence, we lose all rationality where priorities get misplaced and extreme emotions govern the order of the day.
This is the maze we have entered into.
- Anoli Perera
The exhibition has only one large installation and one performance collaboratively done by both artists. An audio cd The Anthem of The Maze is also played along with vedios of news broadcast of social conflicts.
This exhibition is sponsored by the Theertha International Artists Collective.
