Arty DIY projects to transform your room into a personal oasis

"The project invites the most unusual, unique and bizarre materials into Khoj to permeate the exterior space and explore realms which otherwise can go ­unnoticed. No interior ­studio or project space will be used for the installation of th­exhibition," says Promona Sengupta, program manager, Khoj.



Gagan Singh, a Fine Arts graduate from United Kingdom, ­researches drawing through ­sketchbooks, animation, installation and writing. He says, "I would like to use the external spaces to create drawings, which could become interventions or lead to a new sense of perception of the same place."



In Oasis, the work by Lleah Smith and James Gatt includes a staircase laden with paper flowers and ­plastic bags filled with coloured water scattered on the rooftop. "Life in India is undeniably chaotic, a land of millions, of the unexpected and of commotion, of loud noises, interesting smells, textured terrains and ­bargaining power. Rooftops in India offer a retreat, even if momentarily, into a solo space for ­contemplation, personal reflection and silence," they say.
