Nikhil Chopra
Artistic aggregation and over a tonne of coal.
Overview
There are some things you know are moving, but their subtle movements only become obvious with time. Watching living statues shift their weight, waiting for the clock of the long now to chime or measuring circumference of the earth with a stick. At the Carraigeworks this weekend, some subtle aggregation will come thanks to Indian artist Nikhil Chopra.
Chopra plans to use over a tonne of coal and six moveable walls as he mixes three days of drawing into accreted art. Art that he’ll put together as he steps in and out of nineteenth-century character, the Carriageworks foyer and shopping among the crowds at Everleigh Markets. Chopra will put this shopping to good use Saturday evening as he cooks an 18-person banquet, inviting some of the public to join in.
Chopra's art-making runs 10-9pm daily.
