#Repost @mysticash ・・・ Jamshed Memorial Hall was one of the three places I visited on the 13th day of Karachi Biennale 17. It incorporates the oldest auditorium of theatre performance in the city and the hall itself was famous for its thesophical society and it's related sessions that held there in the past. Out of all the artworks I saw, this one is one of my favourites. Local artist from Karachi, known worldwide for his public art, graffiti, painting in 7 different languages, Sanki King, painted the walls on the roof of Jamshed Memorial Hall into his own style of street art called `Calligraffiti` - A union between Calligraphy and Graffiti. - #sankiking #mindpalace #freedomofthought #calligraffiti #graffiti #graffitiart #mural #art #artist #paint #painting #karachibiennale #kb17 #karachi #pakistan

'Mind Palace' - Artist's statement Being a lone-wolf & an introvert, I have presented the rooftop as my mind which I have deliberately exposed & made public. The passage walls, the floor in between, the courtyard & the walls surrounding it; I have painted all of them based on one of my own writings called Freedom of Thought, which I composed especially for this work. Below this writing which is prominent throughout the rooftop, I have used different excerpts on diverse topics from my notebooks. Basing the project on a specific chain of prominent thoughts and spreading it all over the walls & the floor; over writings, tones & patterns which represent diverse feelings, emotions & the subconscious mind; I am expressing that I am strong enough to entertain a single flow of thoughts regardless of my emotional roller coaster & constant overthinking. When the audience enters the rooftop; they will be taking a stroll inside my mind, surrounded by my thoughts, composing their own thoughts in the process. They would be walking inside my mind & my mind would be walking inside theirs. For me, art is “One Way” most of the time; in the sense that for example when an audience views an art work, the work gets inside their minds but they don’t get a chance to get inside the artist’s mind in return. They can only judge what could be on the artist’s mind from the artist’s statement(s) etc. but here I have given the audience a chance to not just get into my mind through intuition; but take a walk in it, run, jump, sing, dance or even lie down and take a nap. I have used this opportunity to artistically produce a literal representation of the famous expression “getting inside someone’s mind". - 2000 sq ft. Acrylic enamel, plastic emulsion.

Some of my favourite works from Karachi's very first biennale @kb17karachi featuring around 180 local and international artists, spread across 12 venues in the city! . This momentous exhibit is a testimony to the fact that our city has come a long way to be celebrating art across its beloved, gritty and hardened terrains. Here's to hoping more art infiltrates our city. . #kb17 #karachibiennale #biennale #art #pakistaniart #artist (at Karachi Biennale 17)
