Foundation Art Divvy

Martand Khosla & Zahra Khan Artist, Architect and academic Martand Khosla speaks with Art Divvy’s Creative Director Zahra Khan about his diverse practice. Martand Khosla (b.1975) is an artist and an architect based in New Delhi, India. Khosla’s art practice challenges urban and historical concepts by distorting the very modes of habitation. His sculptural language of distortion, destruction, and motion of quotidian objects create new lenses through which urbanization may be understood and critiqued. Resistance and social frameworks remain central to his practice as he critiques the very foundations of 20th century urban planning. Khosla runs an architectural studio, RKDS in Delhi and teaches a studio on informal urbanism at CEPT university in Ahmedabad.
