Akara Contemporary presents, Tender Forces, a show by Tarik Currimbhoy where objects and buildings are static beings and entities, but these apparent static beings are in actuality a bolus of forces; forces in continuous action. The solids and spaces of objects and buildings are compositions of material values, values shaped by the dynamics of their lines of forces in constant motion – motions of pull and push, centring and decentring. Forces draw from the gravity of the earth or the cosmic family of energies, and through material forms and geometries, structure and balance, transfer these forces of solidity and stability into the air, into ether, as lines of motion and movement, swinging or whirling, moving spaces and eyes. Tarik Currimbhoy, captures this dance and dynamism of nature, into mobile solids and geometric subtleties.
