Where do you go when you Dream

23 Dec - 23 Jan, 2024 at Gallery Dotwalk

In the realm of ‘Where Do You Go When You Dream?...’, cultural symbols and signs converge, creating a kaleidoscope that beckons viewers to embark on a journey through the surreal and occasionally disquieting landscapes of the subconscious. Born from Shakespeare’s words, “We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep,” this serves as the foundational philosophy underlying the transient and ephemeral nature of human existence.

This exhibition becomes a fabric of divergent visions, where artists weave together the ethereal substance of dreams with the essence of diverse cultural elements. Life mirrors the transient quality of dreams enveloping us, prompting contemplation on the intertwining of our essence with the uncanny framework of reality. At a personal level, these artists come by choice in my curatorial process because I look at art from an intricate level, with which their works perfectly merge. Central to this is the blending of cultural elements within dreamscapes, challenging viewers to question the nature of their reality. This transcends cultural boundaries, acting as a testament to the universality of dreams, resonating with the collective human experience. The exhibition swings between dreams and reality, blending the spiritual with the material, the ephemeral with the perpetual, blurring the lines of waking life and the subliminal. Artists draw inspiration from personal experiences, cultural anecdotes, and contemporary issues, infusing layers of connotation, inviting us to reflect on the interconnectedness of dreams, culture, and the human psyche, fostering a deeper understanding of the collective unconscious. ‘Where Do You Go When You Dream?’ is a voyage, challenging our preconceived notions of reality, and even dream. Here, you navigate profound depths within your own imaginations, sculpting a new mindscape that transcends the boundaries of conventional understanding.

He has exhibited in over 100 significant shows across the globe in the last two decades. His collectors include corporate institutions, museums and private art collectors. In the past, he worked extensively with printmaking and theatre, but now he primarily works on painting, video and performance. His visual works refer to a wide variety of sources in the cultural sphere and contain within them a deep conversation with the history of representation in visual media, fine art, cinema, music and architecture. Within the context of the history of visual representation, his current explorations include the architecture of the city, urbanization and urban cultures. He looks closely at the ideas of speed and change, intersections of local and the global, multiple layers of urban identities and so on. Murali situates each work within larger thematic explorations in humanities, social sciences and in visual art media. He has also taught in CEPT, Ahmedabad, Kanoria Centre for Art, Ahmedabad and National Institute of Fashion Technology, Bangalore and Chennai. His engagement with this broad range of institutions is readable from his conceptual and figurative concerns.
