Amino Soup

Savia Mahajan’s second solo show titled Amino Soup comes after her major institutional interventions at the first Indian Ceramics Triennale and the second edition of The Sculpture Park, Madhavendra Palace, Nahargarh Fort, Jaipur, in 2019, and builds on the themes of resurgence and materiality that have been central to Mahajan’s practice from the very start. 

Mahajan's recent body of works include a new series of the artist’s signature ceramic books, titled Pietra, the artist uses fire and rocks to symbolize external pressures, looking at how things that were once stagnant are forced out of their inertia into a state of change that eventually leads to their evolution.  The most recent, and central work of the show, Pillars of creation is created with Ashok Siju, a young Indigo master who comes from a lineage of weavers in the Vankar community of Bhujodi village in Kutch, Gujarat. The catalogue featuring an essay by the acclaimed cultural theorist, curator and poet Ranjit Hoskote is available for sale below.
