Carpe Diem Art Gallery - Majorda is hosting ‘The Artist Acquaintances’ - a weekly artist camp cum group art exhibition curated by Daegal Godinho and Swetlana Cardoso. Art enthusiasts, buyers and collectors will get a chance to view a work in progress as well as have a personal interaction with select Goan artists over the course of two months beginning from April. The participating artists are: Bhisaji Gadekar, Ramdas Gadekar, Kausalya Gadekar, Chaitali Morajkar, Mohan Naik, Viraj Naik, Manjunaath Naik and Shripad Gurav.
The format of the project is such that each artist gets one dedicated week at the art centre during which they create one new artwork while simultaneously holding a private show of select artworks and being available for interactions with visitors to the gallery. Each artist makes two presentations - one at the start of his/her week (Tuesday) about their art journey and one at the end of his/her week (Sunday) about their latest creation. The entire project will end with a final group show that will include all the new works created by these eight artists.
The entire project will culminate in one grand group show at Carpe Diem in the beginning of June that will display all the new artworks created by these artists along with selected works of theirs. The curators hope to liven up the art scene and create new art aficionados in Goa through this interactive and artist-focused approach over these next few months.
