"Sameer Kulavoor has been a chronicler of crowds; he recognises within the behaviour of crowds the sense of space and a notion of that which is urban or togetherness of strangers. Strangers make an urban street but they are all part of a similar system — of work, life, and production in the city — the urban world of objects and spaces. In his more recent works, Kulavoor is more sharply addressing the ‘lonesome city-dweller’, where dwelling within global networks makes you alter more local relationships, and where being crowded in a digital world demands you to be a physical loner. As spaces of living and being change, along with change in cultures of work and labour: the mall becomes the new public space, replacing the classical square or the street, while the cafe becomes the shared workspace. In Mumbai, there is a simultaneity of orders and spaces — the mall and the railway station, the cafe and the 9-to-5 worker — creating new imaginations of the clusters of spaces and habitable infrastructures we all occupy, travel between, live within, and even work around. Kulavoor captures in his new drawings this sense of city, in the dwellers and their locations of dwelling."
