TARQ is delighted to present Brick by Brac, a group exhibition conceived and organised by artists Tom Burckhardt and Sameer Kulavoor, bringing together ten artists from across India and the United States whose practices share a sustained investment in incrementalism, repetitiveness, sequentiality and multiplicity — the accumulative, serial, and process-driven act of making work one mark, one fragment, one brick at a time.
The exhibition takes its cue from the act of building: more often than not, making work begins with one brick, then another, then another, as artists get lost in the increments. Rather than a singular, decisive mode of making, the works gathered here pursue meaning through discovery and accumulation, lending a sense of the anti-heroic — not attempting definite statements for imagined audiences, but moving sideways, from particular to particular. Working in bits and humble in material, these practices reflect a daily attentiveness to process rather than product. All the works in this exhibition were made with an economy of materials, able to pack a whole show off in a suitcase as the ten artists work across drawing, collage, photography, film, and mixed media.

Recognising this shared methodology across the practices of peers spanning geographies, Burckhardt and Kulavoor bring these works together in a shared space — seeking an experience that feels greater than the sum of its parts.
