“I think the reason I’m so interested in pattern is because I think it connects to this very universal human need to decorate, to adorn things with repetition . . . There’s also something beautiful about the sort of natural variation, the anomalies that come about when the human hand is making the same mark over and over again.”

Performance | Anindita Dutta: The Dream of Being, October 17

“Within this immersive and surreal environment, the performance traverses states of fear, trauma, ecstasy, and bliss, dissolving distinctions between the absurd and the real. By weaving together these interdependent dualities, the work reflects on social conventions, political ideologies, and fashion as systems through which identity is constructed and performed. Rather than resolving contradictions, the installation invites viewers to inhabit complexity and reconsider the fluid, interconnected nature of human existence.”

Anindita Dutta’s practice explores how materials and the body bear records of distress, resilience, and survival. Working with thrifted objects, including carpets, leather coats, purses, belts, and shoes, Dutta cuts, rips, and strips them to reveal the histories and memories embedded within. In Field of flowering bones (2025), artificial flowers, human hair, and deconstructed women’s boots come together in a visceral, totemic form that speaks to vulnerability, endurance, and regeneration.

“The objects come out of a long-term investigation into surface and support and structure, while they still operate in this kind of lamp language . . . They are part of a larger morphology of forms that tend to be connected to an interest that I have in interior objects.”

Danica Lundy’s paintings transform personal experiences and encounters into complex emotional and spatial puzzles. In Labyrinth, 2025, scenes of teenagers gathered around a parked car—drinking, smoking, and getting ready for the night—overlap and fracture across the canvas. Drawing on the visual language of Euphoria, Lundy compresses and expands depth, placing the viewer within multiple perspectives at once.
