Shaina Anand / Ashok Sukumaran

Shaina Anand and Ashok Sukumaran are active in  different though connected groups. In one co-operation, for instance, they founded the project CAMP, a space and work studio in Bombay. This originated in a will to work collectively in the fields of technology, art, archive, public space and contemporary life. Working with various media and platforms, CAMP seeks to create structures of support and critical enquiry, as well as formats for production, distribution and exhibition. CAMP is co-initiator of the Pad.ma film archive, initiator of the Wharfage project on sea trade, and hosts various events and symposia from its home base. In their Lunch Talk, Anand and Sukumaran will report on the influence of the diverse production contexts on their works of art, and what definitions of the studio come into operation when, for example, as in the project rustle tv, a market becomes a television studio where the participants in the market are transformed into producers of the broadcasts.
