Joining us for our final (and free admission) weekend? Be sure to see recordings of amritkarki_'s latest performance art, recently debuted at nepalartcouncil_ktm "What You Have Given Me, I Set Free Forever".

The work, which was held for 5 consecutive days and a total of 30 hours, invited attendees to pour dyed water over the seated artist, who was dressed in all white. The dye colors mirrored the pattern of prayer flags which symbolizes the five elements: air, space, fire, water, and earth. 

Karki said, “[...] viewers will witness the gradual accumulation of everything the artist has accepted from them and set free forever”, exploring the influence of the Buddhist philosophy of letting go of earthly burdens and belongings.

Experience this and other works in our 20th-anniversary exhibition: 𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚: 𝙃𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙣 𝘼𝙧𝙩 𝙉𝙤𝙬 before 10/6!

The performance was organized by the Rubin Museum of Art, NYC, and co-curated by world-renowned artist Marina Abramović, Michelle Bennett Simorella, Director of Curatorial Administration and Collections at the Rubin Museum, and Roshan Mishra, Director of the Taragaon Museum, Kathmandu.
