Showcase of 3rd Thought Visual Artists
Formed in 2007 and made obsolete in 2010, 3rd Thought Entertainment (3TE) was my first attempt at building a global creative community with members practicing and collaborating across surreal music, films, visual art and literature.
3TE managed the works of 38 experimental artists spread across disciplines and parts of the world. During its existence, 3rd Thought produced an experimental music album, a coffee-table art and poetry book, a showcase of all artists with a multimedia exhibition and performance besides creating member participation at a few international art exhibitions.

Write Letters, Sometimes was all about sending handwritten letters to friends or family anywhere in the world using the iconic Indian postbox as the medium. I curated postcards from various artists and collectives that were given away for free with stamps to anyone who came on the day of the event. 4,000 postcards and inland letters were sent out in a span of 2 hours nostalgically connecting people to each other and the artists who created the postcards. The activity was held as part of The Wall Project 3 in Mumbai (2010).
Street Festival of Homemade Videos (SFHV) was a project that remembered the public screenings of films on the streets as part of local festivals that used to be a big part of the Mumbai culture. However, it had slowly disappeared as cable TV invaded every household making entertainment a more private affair.
SFHV's content was an amalgamation of short videos and clips created by anyone for anything using their cellphones or digital cameras . These slice of life videos were then played back to back and screened in a street in Mumbai.
Following its opening at The Wall Project 3 in 2010, SFHV traveled to the Asia Triennial in Manchester besided having been screened at festivals in Tenerife, Valencia and India.
KYTA (Karma Yatri Travel & Art) is an independent curatorial project in collaboration with Karma Yatri, a company specializing in biking expeditions in the Himalayas.
​In the first edition of KYTA, 11 global artists from different practices will come together for a unique experiment - creating a singular collaborative artwork over a period of one month. What the artwork will be is left to the artists to decide.
KYTA will run the experiment as a residency program in the beautiful Kalga village in the Parvati villages in Himachal Pradesh, India. The program runs 12th April to 11th May, 2014.

Total Museum of Contemporary Arts (Seoul),
the oldest private museum in South Korea, invited me to participate as a foreign curator at the Roadshow and Curators' Fab Lab (2013).
The Roadshow is an experiential exchange program that brings together South Korean artists and a mix of local and international curators to travel together and explore situations with spontaneity. The last Roadshow in which I participated was set at the military-controlled Baenyongdo Island that was mysteriously attacked in 2010 killing 146 soldiers. The second part of the Roadshow was held in mainland Korea in the port city of Incheon.
​The Curators' Fab Lab is a series of presentations held at the Total Museum hosting established and emerging curators and projects.
