PLEASE WELCOME

In May our spring residency holder, Vivek Mariappan från the city of Chennai in India,
arrives in Landskrona. His work constantly revolves within the realms of rural
landscapes where he searches for overlooked stories.

In the series Rooster Wars he documents the roosters which are trained to fight and the
men who train them. The indian government have now officially banned the Rooster duels
but Sevakattu (Rooster duels) is an ongoing activity throughout the state of Tamil Nadu.

During his residency Vivek wants to explore similar stories and spaces and the people
connected to them:

” I would like to create a map of the town of Landskrona. By identifying singular spaces,
I believe I could put the bigger picture of the town in a perspective that’s never been seen before. I’m also interested in connecting and collaborating with Swedish artists who are
reinventing the idea of personal space with radical designs of architecture.”
