Odyssey is a series of art works by Manohar Chiluveru, envisioned as a project that will travel to 24 art capital cities around the globe. It is planned as a long term project that will result in the production of 24 public sculptures and large canvases envisaged as a metaphorical suggestion of 360 degrees of separation or continuity. The artist has begun on the first of these canvas works, sized 12 x 30 feet, in Hyderabad. The other canvases will be developed in the next 23 cities in collaboration with local artists. Realized during a structured travel plan, the artist will interact and create the canvases that are also a referral to 24 frames; which is a narrative and metaphor for motion and moving. The extended project also includes the public performative and collaborative event “The Balance & Race” involving participation of diverse sections of people in general and creative people in particular.
