Opening of The Bangladesh Pavillion. 3rd June 2011. Gervasuti Foundation, Fondamenta S. Ana (Via Garibaldi) Castello 993 A. The Bangladesh Pavilion is a morceau of cutting edge creativity from Bangladesh: Five talented artists whose respective fortes draw from their forbearers, but who are at the same time, engaged in building defining pathways from here to the beyond. Imran Hossain Piplu, Kabir Ahmed Masum Chisty, Mahbubur Rahman, Promotesh Das Pulak and Tayeba Begum Lipi all celebrate their contemporary experience in “Parables” – principally because of the capacity of each of the artist to pack in experience and meaning – alluding, challenging and opening eyes; and hence parables. The angst, the yearning and an interesting capacity to blend the autobiographical with the collective provide a distinctive narrative of our times.
