Slide Lecture by Johny ML This video is the recording of the presentation given by Subodh Kerkar About the artist Subodh Kerkar gave up his medical profession twenty years ago to pursue his passion, visual art. He is perhaps the only major land artist of the country creating large installations in nature, sometimes over a kilometer long. Seashores are his favourite canvases. "The sea is my master and my muse", says Subodh. The sea is both outside and inside, form and material, subject as well as object. He uses locally sourced material, thus forming an intrinsic link between lived life, nature and art. His interventions in landscape are usually ephemeral and are at many levels: aesthetic, conceptual, material, historical and political. Landscape artists erased the political in the service of the picturesque. Subodh Kerkar infuses the picturesque and the decorative with the political. He takes his works from the closed space of a gallery to the people. His works, arresting in dimensions, invite the viewer to be a collaborator. His recent work where he expressed his solidarity with the Tibetan cause by planting six hundred prayer flags on Vagator beach in Goa is a case in point. Thousands of people including many Tibetan monks staged a mashal rally at the installation. "This was an oceanic prayer for the freedom of the snow", said Subodh. He has been part of many exhibitions and art fairs including Dubai Art Fair and Busan Biennale. Subodh Kerkar makes tremendous efforts to set up public art projects in India. He calls himself an artist and an activist. He is the founder of Kerkar Art Complex at Calangute, Goa.
