THE GREY AREA

THE GREY AREA is a show organized by

...On The Same Page Artists' Book

Collective, where a team of 16 artists from

across the country of varied backgrounds

have come together to display their

artists' books, all on the singular theme of

"Conflicts".

We live in a world that is increasingly

getting polarized by absolutes.

Inevitably, conflicts brew and clarity

dissolves across these absolutes; the

conflicts that ensue have been created

through the lines of demarcations across

societies that are divided by needs, wants,

beliefs, ideologies and identities. At its

core, the exhibition challenges the notion

of separation by highlighting the varied

contradictions deep-rooted in all the

shades between the extremes.

Each of the artists’ books on display is a

dialogue about THE GREY AREA that

exists between the extremes. From

war-torn memories to personal

reckonings, the show challenges the

viewer to question the binaries and the

extremes, and to acknowledge the

uncomfortable murkiness of the

unresolved. The artworks do not offer

solutions—they offer mirrors.

While often viewed negatively, conflict

can also be a catalyst for change,

prompting dialogue, innovation, and

social transformation when managed

constructively.
