Congratulations to AHVA alumni Simranpreet Anand (BFA ’18) and Natasha Katedralis (BFA ‘18), whose work हमारे स्वाद की असलियत, insatiable desires of a bourgeoisie (2021) and Bit, Must, Decalcomania (2022) have been selected as two of seven finalists (from more than fifty nominations) for the prestigious Lind Prize.
Simranpreet Anand’s हमारे स्वाद की असलियत plays with the perception between the colonial commodity and reclaimed object, in both the flat-woven dhurrie rug and pre-packaged spice mix, which are the principal pre-industrial commodities. Natasha Katedralis’s Bit, Must, Decalcomania explores the material parameters of images by playing with properties such as resolution, dimensionality, flatness, visual tropes, and illusory effect.
