Harsha Durugadda’s sculpture Conversations has been selected for Boundless Spaces: The Possibilities of Burning Man online auction
Hyderabad artist Harsha Durugadda’s sculpture Conversation has been selected to be part of Boundless Space: The Possibilities of Burning Man an online charity auction organised by Sotheby’s and Burning Man Project. Bidding opens on September 30 and closes on October 8. Jayeti Bhattacharya and Shilo Shiv Suleman are the other Indian artists whose works have been chosen for the auction.
Harsha’s sculptures have earned him international recognition. His installation Column of Sound, exploring the visual dynamics of an audio wave, clinched him the Rio Tinto Sculpture Award at the 2017 Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe exhibition in Australia. An installation titled Selfish Love won him the Biafarin Award at NordArt 2018 in Germany.
The selection for Boundless Space is a new feather in his cap. The opportunity came through Emergent Art Space, a non-profit organisation in Portland, USA, where he had exhibited in 2013. “Emergent Art Space suggested my work for Boundless Space. The online auction is raising funds for the Burning Man Project and support Burning Man Arts and Civic Engagement programmes. Earlier, Burning Man was not known for its diversity. This time, the focus is on inclusivity,” says Harsha.

Journalism’s evolution has been depicted throughout the last 100-odd years thanks to pop culture, and the life and work of journalists have made for a wealth of memorable cinema.
