The Lexicon Art’s exhibition ‘Dvaita (द्वैत) : Dualities’ presented the philosophical concept of dualism as a curation of opposites. In this show we looked at many dualities – black and white, gold and silver, blue and red, shiny and rough, squares and circles, precise geometries and amorphous shapes, heavy and light, wall and ceiling, canvas and steel, and through these dualities, we uncover how this complexity of opposites resolves into Advaita (अद्वैत), a oneness. In India dualities jostle on the street side by side, big mansions and slums coexist on the same street, a beautiful avenue of Gulmohar trees keeps company of overflowing drains and broken pavements, humans and cows both cross the road (and not at the zebra crossing). We have accepted and internalized this way of things in our country. We do not call it chaos, we know it to be diversity and a complex order. What if this kind of complexity had to be addressed in an art exposition?
