Durbar Hall

Set in the heart of Ernakulam city, Durbar Hall was built in the 1850s by the Maharaja of Cochin to host his Royal court. In the 150 years since then, the Hall has had many incarnations. Recent extensive renovation works by the Kochi Biennale Foundation have transformed the space into an international museum quality exhibition venue. In the third edition of Kochi Muziris Biennale titled ‘Forming in the pupil of an eye’, Durbar Hall gallery showcases the works of two artists, Gary Hill and Himmat Shah. Himmat Shah’s untitled sculpture series represents a historical intersection that synthesizes the paradoxes of the modern age. His abstracted terracotta and bronze heads reference the tropes of modernism, continuing with its ruptured against realism and bringing to form the alienation and fragmentation that emerged after industrialization, the World Wars and decolonization. Gary Hill’s three works are featured at Durbar Hall. In his work, Aloidia Piorm, Hill repurposes the discarded fragments of glass sculptures by other artists. Upon a table he places these pieces of glass debris creating an invented vernacular by giving each individual piece a fantastical name. Aloida Piorm is about the imaginative play through the text associated with each object, suggesting that the imagined discourse around glass is opaque, make-believe and playful. This ambiguous border between reality and fantasy also emerges in Klein Bottle with the Image of Its Own Making which wryly gestures toward the theoretically of one of America’s most prominent minimalist artists, and in turn all other minimalist artists.
