BARGE AT CAPTAIN OF PORTS JETTY, OLD GOA

12th December - 21st December
04:00 PM - 12:00 AM

Supported By

Barge holds a cavity, a space and an absence for presence to exist. In functional form, these presences may be perceivable matter, or traces of an echo. Either way, it is only through absence that presence comes to be, whether material or abstract. Yet, there is a third aspect: imagination. Imagination, driven by an encounter, emerges from a gap that exists at the threshold of what we do and do not perceive. It invites with it, potentiality.

Drawing from three exhibitions that were a part of previous editions of the Serendipity Arts Festival – Future Landing, Synaesthetic Notations, and A Haptic Score – Barge too foregrounds the audience to activate and engage in a participatory experience that allows each view to become a memorable imprint.

The Barge artists respond to an understanding of absence and presence spatially, architecturally, and sonically. Drawing out thresholds of our current world, in which industry and capital wash away imagination, these artists’ works aim to situate the viewer and listener in a landscape of gaps that disallow anyone from settling with what is already present and absent.

Note: Barge will closed on December 19 between 4:00PM - 6:00PM due to a private event.

Location: Captain of Ports Jetty, Old Goa
