LAB MFA: Current Occurrences at Locust Projects Miami, 2022.

Locust Projects presents Current Occurrences, the eighth edition of the LAB MFA summer exhibition program featuring Tara Aliya Kesavan and Indranil Choudhury, MFA candidates at Hunter College, The City University of New York.

The exhibition opened to the public with a preview and reception on Saturday, July 23 2022, and was on view through August 13 2022.

During their month-long residence, Tara Aliya Kesavan and Indranil Choudhury created an installation with found objects, animation, and sound.

Titled Current Occurrences, the show uses objects that act as thresholds – doors, grilles, screens – to create sites where indoor and outdoor, real and virtual, human and non-human collide. A floating door becomes a portal into a domestic space where spectral presences carry out curious routines. Ornate grilles take turns to hum, transmitting snatches of sounds from a disembodied choir. Fragments of brick lattices create openings for skittering creatures to wander and return.
