Figure 11 . Black Gold, installation of pottery shards by Indian artist Vivan Sundaram at Aspinwall House. The terra-cotta fragments used within this installation are recovered from the archaeological site at Pattanam, the site of the flooded ancient seaport of Muziris. The landscape produced becomes an imaginary topography on the floor, creating associations with national myth-making that the festival curators have loosely played with as part of the name and identity of the Kochi-Muziris. Opposite is an installation, Untitled, of a Keralan fishing boat by the Indian artist Subodh Gupta. The traditional Keralan fishing boat has been filled with cooking pots, chairs, bicycles, and quilts, lashed together with chains, and suspended from a girder in this former shipbuilding yard, serving both as a local symbol and as a globally recognized symbol of economic migration, denoting the physical movement of goods and commodities as part of the global economic narrative of a wider cultural exchange. Many of the works found at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale reference and are informed by ideas and theories of the city, of social and public space, and of broader socioeconomic issues affecting modernization in India. Questions about how such modernization is funded, and who ultimately benefits from it, are heightened within this once Communist state, where an active socialist agenda has shaped the political landscape.
