Whorled Explorations

It's been a few days since I visited Kochi Muziris Biennale - Whorled Explorations and the effects of it are worth the travel. It was one enjoyable visit and it was peppered up with the companionship of a my dear friend, Nisha Jacob, who accompanied me to the various sites. It was definitely a memorable day with loads of amazing art and fine memories and extravagant feelings :)

I would like to showcase the Durbar Hall which is also a venue of Biennale. I also wanted to see the Hall as I am planning to curate a show most probably by the end of 2016. This is a declaration so that I can realize my closely-held dear dream. I am extremely thankful to Devan Sir  for being there all along with his guidance and help as when I require it :)

I have tried to name the artists and the artworks but haven't got hold of some of them. Anyway it's a real treat for the senses. Enjoyed every bit of it. There was novelty in many of the displays and the range and variety was quite fascinating. One needs at least  3 days to properly visit all the sites and get a glimpse of all the artworks. A day is no where enough! This is just a part of what I could manage to see in a day!

We then took a ferry to Fort Kochi where lies the real show!!! To travel by ferry was also a great experience personally for me coz I am not used to...Look at how beautiful Kochi is :)

On our way, we met some interesting characters :)

As we walked through the lanes of Fort Kochi, we were swarmed by the feel of the old world charm...it was as if we had been transported to another era...or so we felt! 

 We bought the ticket from this 'vintage' counter :)
