Can Art Feel More at Home? Priyanshi S on Rethinking How We Experience Art · deccanchronicle.com

Priyanshi S has organized an art exhibition that feels more like a home than a traditional gallery.

It includes artworks alongside furniture, books, lights and other objects.

She wants visitors to decide for themselves what feels important.

At home, objects can have different meanings depending on who is there and how they are used.

The exhibition can also change while it is open.

Some artworks may leave when they are bought, while others may be added or altered.

Priyanshi believes artworks continue to develop new stories in different places.

She says galleries should change with audiences while still helping people look closely at art.

“The artwork is born in an artist’s studio, and is immortal hence, at least in the memory of the people who have seen, or interacted with it.”

“The aim with the exhibition is to break these constructed hierarchies and enjoy each piece for its own story.”
