Just Ignore It

It is bold to occupy the space with one’s own presence, with one’s own body, to challenge and embarrass the audience, not necessarily in a negative way.

​

The performance by the young female artist derives inspiration from everyday action. Somewhat like the Semiotics of the Kitchen by Martha Rosler, the viewer might wonder is this really a work of art. Agrawal is boldly asking: Ignorance, inferior or superior, voluntary or involuntary? Unlike Rosler who performed for the camera, Agrawal - present in the gallery space - invites the audience as a direct witness and possibly a participant in the act. She holds the space for those present in the reminiscence to what art might have been for them and what will it be after this.

​

I would like to conclude by quoting Vanshika: Consequently, the viewer has no choice instead to notice & question it in a successful or failed attempt by the artist to define ignorance and time in relation to body, space & course of action.
