One of the impacts the Kochi Muziris Biennale (KMB) had was it brought different aspects of contemporary art closer to the common man in Kerala. Conceptual public art through performance has a long and old history, even in Kerala, but it had receded to the background with the emergence of other visual forms. It was also limited, in Kerala, to caste and religion, thus reducing its audience base. Contemporary performance art is populist; it is completely public in space and expression and hence in response too.
Sajan Mani, an artist currently staying in Kumarakom and working in the KMB editorial has been on continual public intervention performances from July 20 for a project called Missing. Hailing from a remote village in North Kerala Sajan has explored the fields of cartooning, photography and art in cyberspace.
