Vikram Divecha is a Beirut-born, Mumbai-bred artist, based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. He holds an Master’s in Fine Art in Visual Art from Columbia University, New York, United States of America, and was a participant of the Whitney Museum’s Independent Study programme. Divecha raises questions about time, value and authorship by engaging people across urban and social spheres, and working with available material and space. Divecha terms this approach as ‘found processes’, which often sees him intervene within public and social systems. From wholesale exporters to municipal gardeners, architectural consultants to railway traffic managers, Divecha’s participants inform and shape his projects in various ways, at times for sustained durations. These engagements translate into public art, site-specific interventions, installation, film, painting, drawing, photography and text. Exhibitions include: Jameel Arts Center, Dubai; The Jewish Museum, New York; Wallach Art Gallery, New York; 57th Venice Biennale; 13th Sharjah Biennial; Louvre Abu Dhabi; Gallery Isabelle van den Eynde, Dubai; Alserkal Avenue, Dubai; and the Centre for Contemporary Art, Warsaw, Poland. Grants, commissions and scholarships include the Sharjah Art Foundation; the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture; institut français; and the Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation. Residencies include Land Art Mongolia; and Temporary Art Platform, Lebanon.
