Reopening doors

What: After a very long wait, Triveni Kala Sangam has finally reopened its galleries with an additional viewing platform of online ‘Virtual Walk Through with 360* view’ tour of the gallery. As new relationships and connections are being formed between the arts and its viewers on this new platform, the gallery is offering this additional platform for all the artists presenting their works at Triveni. Both Shridharani and Triveni Gallery at Triveni, reopened with the digital launch of their first-ever online walkthrough tour of the gallery to help the viewers experience for themselves the feel of the artists and their artworks displayed. The response of viewing digital art has been amazing but the artist does miss the interaction with the viewer.

Shaping tomorrow

What: Architecture in Poland is flourishing. In recent years, many significant public buildings have been created – museums and concert halls, sports facilities, educational buildings. An exhibition titled ‘A Phoenix From The Ashes’ presents 20 such newly constructed or revitalised objects. In addition to public buildings, there are offices, residential construction and public space. Each of the objects depicted by the best Polish architectural photographers shows exceptional nature: uniqueness of form, often multi-layered concepts which is a result of the work of many creators-designers, builders, artists and investors. The exhibition by its nature is dedicated to contemporary architecture, but the present grows out of the past and is directed towards the future.
