Avid Learning, in association with the Italian Embassy Cultural Centre, Mumbai, presents its third roundtable, which will probe aesthetic practices in today’s world of uncertainty and precariousness. To reflect this flux the lines between art forms are more fluid than they have ever been. Artists whose works elude easy categorization, like multi-disciplinary artist, Beatrice Pediconi’s, are giving expression to a mutable world. Pediconi paints with water, and documents the unexpected results in photo and video formats. Her works are evocative of alien worlds, photographic studies and gestural paintings. In conversation with the artist are Cultural Theorist, Nancy Adajania, and Veteran Artist, Navjot Altaf with Gallerist- owner of Chatterjee and Lal, Mortimer Chatterjee moderating the session.
