When I look at the pictures captured by Hubble it seems to me that the cosmos is speaking in tongues. Indecipherable to the mind but crystal clear to the eye. The eye then becomes the ear.
In architecture, this phenomenon is visible in the works of architects whose hands have the ability to mold silent inert materials into symphonic volumes and voids.
This exhibition is a collection of drawings, sculptural installations inspired by Satish Gujral’s architectural works, large-scale photographs of public murals, and his rare mixed-media sculptural assemblages. We witness how a sculptor’s eye is looking at primitive geometries of the dome, the cylinder, and the arch. In these projects, lies a musical rhythm both in form and in physics where sound echoes, reverberates, and then escapes.
