Altamirra’s website launches today with an exhibition called Unfounded Realities: A Cartography of the Unconscious, showcasing work from the residency by 11 artists across mediums, as well as one art writer. The theme of the exhibition stems from the 15-day residency Objet Trouvé+, which focused on the surrealist principle of the ‘found object’ - “the notion that one could project one’s thoughts and ideas onto a representational readymade object(s).” A virtual conversation with the artists will also be held this evening.

Kulkarni, who was a founder-member of Synchronicity, a seminal art group in Goa in the mid-1980s, states that the website is user-friendly and yet experimental. “Surrealism is like delving into the unconscious. I would like to keep the exhibition live for a month or two, and will also be thinking of more art residencies,” he shares.
