ColourNext 2013: Behind the Scenes

It's that time of the year again. Here are some snapshots of the studio during the weeks leading up to last week's annual colour forecast by Asian Paints. This year, ColourNext 2013 (the 10th year of ColourNext, and Trapeze's third year of working on CN) was launched at India Design ID 2013, Delhi.

Ceci n'est pas une pipe

Not exactly what Magritte meant...but after all the cutting and welding (and gif-ing), these were definitely not just pipes any more.

Alice at Unbound

'You may call it "nonsense" if you like,' she said, 'but I'VE heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!'

Sarita participated in Unbound, an inspiring artist book workshop that culminated in an exhibition of book sculpture. Her obsession with quotes from Alice in Wonderland resulted in a woven dress, made of banana fibre paper.

"What is the use of a book without pictures or conversations?"

This narrative dress, a picture in itself, in iconic blue and white with conversations woven in and real objects - a golden key, a pocket watch, butterflies and flowers is reminiscent of the hidden secrets that Alice finds in Wonderland.

Mad Max: Opening Night

Mad Max Exhibition: Behind the Scenes

While the studio got ready with all the artworks to be displayed, in another corner of the studio some people were busy packing...er...making a punch.

 

(and what a punch it was!)

Punch- check. Snacks-check. Last minute adjustments- check.

Good to go!
