Performance Lecture with Asialink Roving Resident 2012

Nikhil Chopra

Goa-based interdisciplinary artist Nikhil Chopra is the inaugural Asialink Roving Resident. The artist will ‘rove’ for five weeks between Sydney (Carriageworks), Melbourne (Asialink) and Western Australia (The Fremantle Arts Centre), where he will be introduced to new networks and opportunities along the way. Nikhil Chopra’s artistic practice is grounded in cultural history and personal memories. His performances are in large part improvised, at the intersection of live art, theatre, painting, photography and installation.

Highlights of Nikhil Chopra’s artistic career include Indian Highway at the Serpentine Gallery 2008–09, Making Worlds at the Venice Biennale 2009, and Marina Abramovic Presents at the Manchester International Festival 2009. Visit his website www.nikhilchopra.net.
