Sahil Naik
Artist
I'm thrilled to present a new version of my sculptural and sonic installation, “All is Water and to Water We Must Return”, at the Lyon Biennale through the Villa Swagatam residency. Showcased at MAC Lyon, the work reflects on the history of a submerged home, exploring loss and remembrance as forms of resistance.
Sahil Naik examines evidence and truth through architecture, minor histories, mythology, and the internet. His current project, Monuments, Mausoleums, Memorials, Modernism, explores the violence in nation-building in South Asia and the Non-Aligned world. His work has been shown at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, Art Encounters Biennale, and various international venues. Solo exhibitions include Spectres, Specimens and Ships in Doubt (2023) and Monuments, Mausoleums, Memorials, Modernism (2020). He has received grants from the Goethe Institut, Warehouse 421, and the India Foundation for the Arts.
