A Sculptural Installation Presented by Gallery Chemould & Chatterjee & Lal Anant Joshi's ongoing project, Back to play and draw, attempts to locate, and generate dialogue around, the subtle shifts that occur from point of origin. The point from where evolves ideas for growth, liberation, movement, progress, process, evolution, or protest. The installation presented here is only one segment of Joshi's larger project. The work stands as a metaphor for the game Chess, while also drawing attention to structures of power that people deal with every day at a personal, individual level. The idea of the stalemate in a chess game, which makes the players end the ongoing game to re-start a new one with even points, is one of the core conceptual ideas for the project. Ten stories are to be developed from ten sculptural-installations. There is no clear one protagonist in any of them, and the various objects (toys, ceramic or steel objects on painted wood) that make up the larger installation take on the role of props that support the narrative in the stories generated in the process. To view the installation, one enters the space, fitted with a wide-angle lens slide projector, the only source of light falling on the installation.
