BEHIND THE SEEN


BEHIND THE SEEN


PRABHAKAR, MOHANA, SUBBAIAH & SHIVA


Here are four individuals who have been behind the art scene in Bangalore. Their ability to absorb the aesthetics around them is remarkable. Each of them has developed his/her own sensibility to look at the alternative art practices of the city. As individuals they have supported and worked to make these spaces lively. They moved beyond being mere technical facilitators and have had a bond with the artist community. These artistic interactions have had an undeniable impact on them; and have resulted in this exhibition. This is an attempt to showcase their creative abilities and acknowledge their presence.


Prabhakar .D.R has been working with the ‘Max Mueller Bhavan’ (Bangalore) from past four decades as a technician, though he has informally been a multifaceted assistant. Mohana has been the caretaker at ‘No1.Shanthiroad’ for the past decade. Subbaiah has been assisting ‘Samuha’ and otherwise he is a vegetable vendor and mason from the outskirts of Bengalooru. Shiva hails from a farming community and is a cop by profession. He currently manages No.1Shanthiroad.
