I make new the song born of old
Kochi Muziris Biennale 2016
Curator Sudarshan Shetty
I make new the song born of old is a poem written for and presented within this room at Aspinwall. As you pass through this space you can use Mohanty’s work to anchor yourself. As you read the text, think about how you sink into the room and breathe in the atmosphere, the words become space. This work not only embraces ephemerality and decenters ‘vision’ to make room for other modes of encounter and perception, it also repositions their previous auxiliary positions. As you inhabit I make new the song born of old, spending time with Mohanty’s work, ask what does language mean to you.
