A Reading Path down a Rabbit Hole: Vikram Goyal
Selected conversations, interviews and profiles with sculptural metal artist Vikram Goyal
When conceptualizing Kuch Hai, I thought hard about the kind of readership and community I want to attract. I have honed in on the below:
Kuch Hai readers don’t want to be told what to think about art—they want to be shown what to chase. Give them an artist’s name and a compelling image, and they’ll open ten browser tabs, cross-reference dealers, find the monograph, plan a trip to see a piece in person. They don’t want curation as conclusion; they want curation as catalyst. And when they finally hang that print or drop that reference, it’s not decoration—it’s autobiography.
It is pure joy to receive messages from different readers every Wednesday, learning about works and artists they didn’t know existed. I want to stoke this curiosity, the reason you feel compelled to say “I like that”. I am going to expand the Kuch Hai curation to find the most insightful and robust interviews with the featured artists, whenever possible.
If you liked the Kuch Hai post “Garden of Life” wall panel by artist Vikram Goyal, here are 4 of his most holistic interviews to get to know him as an artist.
