Mohit Shelare b. 1992
Mohit Shelare is an artist based in India. His practice dwells between
toxins and living, contaminating material history and its memory while
proposing new knowledge-making. He draws on waste that shapes the
psychology of the human mind and therefore the thinking-systems that we
are in. He creates conversational settings where speech and listening
occurs with drawing, performance, text, object, sound and video. Through
these conversational spaces, he attempts to expand on ontologies of waste,
unequal distribution of toxins and abstraction of caste.
His work has been exhibited at Watermans Foundation, London; Ashkal Alwan Home Works Space Program, Beirut, Lebanon; Foundation of Contemporary Art, Delhi, India; Kunst(Zeug)Haus, Switzerland; CAMP Studio, Mumbai, India; Kochi-Muziris Student Biennale, Kerala; Conflictorium Museum, Gujarat, India. He is a recipient of grants and awards, including the Prince Claus Seed Award (Netherlands); the Inlaks Fine Art Award (India); the Regional Arts Assembly (Australia); Five Million Incidents (India); Generator Experimenter (Kolkata); and the IFA (Bengaluru). He is currently a visiting faculty at the National Institute of Design (NID). Most recently, Mohit was an artist in residence at the Delfina Foundation in London.
