To wrap up the bizarre year of 2020, I will be showing my works at an International Group Exhibition ‘ALTERNATE SPACE‘ organized by Gallery ONKAF (New Delhi, India). Due to current situation, the exhibition takes place ONLINE during 28th.Dec.2020 – 9th.Jan.2021. Real space exhibition to be considered depending on the situation of the pandemic.
Selected works;
entropy-A (single-ch. HD video + stereo Audio / 4min30 / 2020)
Artist(s): ACCI BABA (film/sound)
mercurius (single-ch. HD video + stereo Audio / 3min / 2020)
Artist(s): ACCI BABA (film) / YU MIYASHITA (music)
Both works have been created during the nationwide coronavirus lock-down this year, and it will appear officially in the public for the first time. Looking back, my artistic activities in the overseas started to take off after the India Tour in 2009. One cycle of Zodiac has passed, and India comes into my life again. I accept this as an universal message, and continue my practice further into the next cycle.
Happy Holidays

Curatorial Statement:
Reclaiming the past is a sepia lane of forever known reality until shaken hard. Sapiens have never been this doubtful of their existence in the presence of other fellow beings. The essence of a society to socialize now meets with inhibited minds. It now seems like a distant land where people could come together to witness the world set to stage. Excruciating scenarios such as now have forced or at its best inspired artists to find alternate space for their artistic expression. Versions may have been revised, forms experimented with, new avenues of dissemination explored along or the only stage that looked feasible is set in a virtual world. The alternate space could have been any form developed through this lockdown phenomenon but has presented an uncharted journey to tread. We have been wondering how art helped heal generations of artists to keep their heads up. When resources were a constraint did fluidity of their art scale hard and was rigid or they found their way to flow? We let memories behold us but anticipatorily inspire a cry for hope that is circumstantially demanded.
