Golconde embodies the finest aspects of modern architecture, with its simplicity, clear and sincere expression of structure, the directness of purpose and closeness to nature. Golconde is more than a building. it is a finely crafted institution, jealously preserved by the inmates who are intensely aware of its preciousness.

Interactive Art Performance
January 6 to 9, 2011 | 5.00 am – 10.00 pm
Juhu Beach, Mumbai

Focusing on the symbolic and functional meaning of water for the Kolis, Uday Shanbhag inscribed the invocation ‘kuberanige niru beku’ (The Sea God wants more water, in Kannada) at dawn and dusk on the sands of Juhu beach. Through this auspicious incantation, he pleaded to the Sea God for good weather and good catch for the fishermen as they embarked on their daily journey. During the day, the artist set up a tea shop in one shack on the beach, where he listened to stories of the Kolis and entertained the passers-by in a relational performance. The time spent with the fishermen and the daily incantations was documented in a 10-minute video.

Date: November 3, 1997
Venue: NCPA, Mumbai

Asha and Prabhakar Baste are Mumbai-based architects who have been doing mainly residential projects in the hot, humid Western coastal region of Maharashtra and Goa for the last twenty years.

A family of sloping roofs huddled amidst natural surroundings constitutes the image of `home’ in this region. The essence of Bastes’ very contemporary buildings is in providing a sense of shelter, both physical and emotional while keeping in step with the vernacular images of the region.
