arario introduces the young indian artist, jitish kallat's first solo exhibition in korea - 'skinside outside'
the show features works of 'mental agony' results of the artist's anxieties from the current indian society.
while kallat is conflicted between pop art and agitprop, he tries ;to solve the survival of human strife
and endless narratives'. mumbai, where the artist lives is a place where survival in its self is an adventure
and shows the extreme aspects of indian life, thus the city becomes a source of stimulation for the artist.
the exhibition is composed of paintings and sculptures, notably the the piece 'collidonthus' 2007
- a life-size model of a car that is constructed with bones (made from resin). the sculpture is influenced
by the burnt out remains of cars seen on the streets of india.
