David Blamey is the artist selected by Centre d’Art for the 2023-24 residency programme. He has been working for two months in Auroville on his new project ‘The Long Now’.

David Blamey lives and works in London and SW France. His work encompasses several activities that overlap to form a multidimensional practice that eludes conventional categorisation. To this end, his projects are positioned consciously within a range of public situations, both inside and beyond the art gallery.

For over 30 years he has travelled and carried out research in India. In 2006 he was awarded the Arts Council of England’s Prayog International Artist Fellowship and in 2017 his film ‘Rice’ was selected for the Mumbai International Film Festival before being screened worldwide at different venues; winning best world film at the Rome Agri Culture film Festival (2019) and best no-dialogue film at the Prague International Film Festival (2024).

’The Long Now’ will present a number of new works made on site in Auroville, including: drawings, painting objects, book objects, sculpture and installation.
