POLLINATION AS RESILIENCE A LOOPHOLES 080:30 EMBODIMENT OF ART AS PLACE

In 2013, Suresh Kumar G invited a group of creative practitioners, most of
them under the age of thirty into his Loopholes project – a curatorial umbrella
under which the collective then called itself 080:30, a space-time stamp that
unifies the pin code of Bengaluru, and the strength of the collective. The
collective remained a fluid fold with members moving in and out of the group,
marking itself onto the city repeatedly in several sit(e)uations. The intention
was simple – to take on the city as a place to situate art, thereby loosening the
margins of institutional dependency, and working through the primary mode
of self-organisation – a term that has come back into usage post the economic
crisis in the cultural sectors of the west.
