Works of Artist in Residence Mohammad Salam Abdus from Dhaka, Bangladesh on exhibit at the Kunstraum Winterthur.
Artist in Residence, Mohammad Salam Abdus from Dhaka, Bangladesh is currently at the Villa Sträuli on a residency. This residency was possible thru the support of the Pro Helvetia office in New Delhi.
The Bangladeshi artist works with print making, painting, installation, conceptual print, and new media. He uses footpaths, broken pediments or walls as his plates - the pediments or plates that have a history irrespective of being debatable or non-debatable.
About my work
I have been observing my time and ambient situation sharply wherein I get to see things and especially, society, politics, life-style are synonymous to cruel, vulgar, titillating and fantasised commercial ‘Bangla Cinema’ - which I comprehend as the height of today’s culture. We tend to forget our authenticity…our cultural heritage, day to day happenings, history, our heroes, their devotion because of the ever-increasing satellite culture that’s been reinforcing to change or at least grab the share of our culture for quite some time now. Single-centric heroism compels us to produce narcissism in the society we live in…inspires us to turn-off from the motherland…making us to be robotic! In the name of Globalisation capitalists, Medias, media men keep on creating
