Mango Mania
Colourful mangoes Collage by Laurie Baker
Alliance Française de Trivandrum in association with the Embassy of France in India and Costford will organise an exhibition of collages titled ‘Laurie Baker’s Mango Mania’ from April 1 to 14 at Alliance Française de Trivandrum. The exhibition will be inaugurated at 4 p.m. on 1 April. It will open to the public from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Laurie Baker (1917-2007), the great Gandhian green architect, abhorred any sort of waste. During the last few years of his life, he used to do collages of mind-boggling patterns in the shape of mangoes with magazine pages, newspapers, bits of papers, cloth and so on. Like he had never repeated a building design or detailing, he created new and varied ‘mango designs.’
This body of work, fondly termed as ‘mango mania’ by his wife, is a liberating experience of amazing range of combinations and permutations. Contact Ph: 2320666/ 6578808
