LaVA, an installation by Bose Krishnamachari, is a contemporary-temporary laboratory for the people. This archival project, comprises a collection of records of contemporary visual art practices that have been culled from museums, institutions, galleries, shops and streets from major art capitals.
LaVA is an intervention that poses a challenge to existing institutions and their outmoded pedagogy. It reflects Bose’s interest in architecture, design, furniture, and provides more than just a functional space for the visual-reader, it also represents the dynamics of information-gathering.
The Library contains books, DVDs and CDs that cover a range of visual art practices like cinema, architecture, design, fashion, cultural studies and philosophy. This growing work-in-progress could occur at the three-point interfaces posed by the installation itself, the audience’s behavioural reactions to it at various levels, and the presence of the artist’s intent.
