Book Description
This thesis is a holistic analysis of Amin Gulgee’s trajectory in contemporary art. For over three decades, his artistic praxis has been breaking new ground in sculpture, performance and curation, centred in the context of Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city. In the body of this thesis, various lenses are adopted with which to analyse Amin Gulgee and his extensive oeuvre, with the artist’s voice coming through strongly throughout, given the basis afforded to the author by a series of recorded interviews. Two of the more significant frames – an idea of artistic nonduality and the Pentecost as art process – are infused in the first two chapters. The third chapter is devoted to copper, Gulgee’s primary medium, and its material agency. The fourth chapter investigates the ‘Matter of Form’, building from John Dewey’s nondualistic argument for the inseparability of matter and form in a work of art, to pursue an analysis of Amin’s sculptural forms throughout his trajectory. To understand how Amin Gulgee nondualistically operates in a space in between aesthetic practices, it is important to apprehend the way in which his sculptural things express their collective agency in the installation process. The fifth chapter, ‘Inhabiting A Space In Between’, enters into a more experiential discourse; a vital feature of exploring Amin’s praxis of artistic nonduality. The sixth chapter, ‘Telling in our own Tongues’, endeavours to demonstrate the interwoven essence of the sculptural, performative, curatorial, and discursive threads in the tangled multi-dimensionality of Amin Gulgee’s artistic web. The thesis concludes by exploring his collaborative methodology that I term ‘integrated protagonism’; a distinctive feature of his artistic web. This speaks to the way in which the creative energies of a network are activated in a framework of non-separation between self and other.

Book Description
Pakistan's Radioactive Decade focuses on the cultural output of the 1970s, the most momentous ten years in the nation's history. The book examines the unprecedented experimentation that occurred in a diverse range of fields, including art, dance, music, television, fashion and advertising, among others. Over forty writers present their reflections of the national scene. The book also includes the interviews of many iconic figures from the 1970s. The catalyst for the book was an exhibition by the same title held at Amin Gulgee Gallery in March 2016. Co-curators Niilofur Farrukh and Amin Gulgee commissioned 47 artists of different ages to create work inspired by this pivotal decade. These visual acts of remembering and reflecting are included in the book as well. Pakistan's Radioactive Decade serves as a testimony of the times. Voices of the nation have shared their memories of this vibrant and turbulent decade-an era which older generations reminisce over and the younger generation strives to comprehend. 'Cultural Polaroids of the Decade' --Amin Gulgee
