Thinking about aesthetics a lecture by Sundar Sarukkai
About the Talk: This talk will explore how and why we need to
think about a concept called aesthetics. Rather than working with specific
thinkers, we will explore how the concept of aesthetics arises and the kind of
intellectual vocabulary one needs to understand it. So it will focus more on
foundational themes that support the notion of aesthetics.
About the Speaker: Sundar Sarukkai is currently Professor of
philosophy at the National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore. He was the
Founding-Director of the Manipal Centre for Philosophy & Humanities,
Manipal University, India from 2010-2015. He is the author of the following
books: Translating the World: Science and Language, Philosophy of Symmetry,
Indian Philosophy and Philosophy of Science, What is Science? and The Cracked
Mirror: An Indian Debate on Experience and Theory (co-authored with Gopal
Guru). He is an Editorial Advisory Board member of the Leonardo Book Series on
science and art, published by MIT Press, the Series Editor for Science and
Technology Studies, Routledge and the Chief Editor of the Springer Handbook of
Logical Thought in India. Sarukkai is trained in physics and philosophy, and
has a PhD from Purdue University, USA. His research interests include
philosophy of science and mathematics, phenomenology and philosophy of language
and art, drawing on both Indian and Western philosophical traditions. He has
been a Homi Bhabha Fellow, Fellow of the Indian Institute of Advanced Studies
at Shimla and PHISPC Associate Fellow.

The Golden Ratio
a lecture by
Balan Nambiar
Independent Artist and Scholar, Bangalore
On Sunday 21 August 2016 at 6.30 pm
at 1.Shanthi Road Studio/ Gallery
Shanthinagar, Bangalore 560027
About the Talk:
Most people, particularly in the field of art and architecture, know the term "Golden Ratio", but rarely realise that it exists in myriad forms in nature. The golden ratio was found in ancient Greek architecture and arts of 440 BC. The Sanskrit text of "Sulbha Suthra" had mentioned, way back in 800 - 600 BC, various mathematic formulas and measurements related to Vedic Altars.
In the western world an Italian mathematician Fibonacci in the 13th century found the sequence of numbers known as Fibonacci numbers, which justify the golden ratio, 1:1.618. Renaissance artists used this proportion extensively. Further, Golden Ratio can be seen in the creative works of visual arts, architecture, music and cinema. The presentation will touch upon some of these references as well as the influence of Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Numbers in the artist’s creative works.
About the Speaker:
Balan Nambiar is one of our rare scholar- artists. He is a painter, enamelist, sculptor, photographer, and a research scholar of the ritual performing arts of the west coast of south India. He has held numerous solo exhibitions of his garden sculptures and jewellery enamel paintings in India and abroad, exhibiting in the Venice Biennale and Bronzetto di Padova. His research papers and photographs have been presented at international conferences and published by prestigious institutions in Germany, Switzerland and Italy, apart from India. He has accumulated an enormous collection of slides and music from the ritual arts. He has received numerous awards such as the Karnataka Lait Kala Akademi Award, National Award, Nehru Fellowship and the Ravi Varma Puraskaram of Kerala.
