Museum of Blue

Vasl Artists’ Association launched the second chapter of the museum project, ‘Museum of Blue’, a year-long museum-based experiment, where we invited artists to respond to the word “Blue”.

In different Asian regions of the Global South (and beyond) – blue is deeply and vastly intertwined in many histories, presents and futures. Whether it be symbolic or related to tactile objects or substances, an indication of painful or joyful histories, it is complex and ever present. It swims in our pasts, our present and art forms; sung, spoken, seen, written, remembered and felt. It is a predominant element, both tangible and intangible. It surges, unfurls, billows and expands within and around us. Like all colours, it defies any categorization as solely a colour.
