IVS alumni show concludes
KARACHI: It’s been three decades since the Indus Valley School (IVS) of Art and Architecture was founded. It has, in that period, established itself as one of the leading institutions of the country. A measure of its success are the top-drawer individuals, especially in the realm of art, that have graduated from IVS and are now serving society in their respective fields. It is in this connection that the IVS alumni show titled The Long and Short of It which concluded on Friday assumes significance.
The exhibition “celebrates the journey of 25 graduating batches”, and while doing so, the men and women whose works it has chosen to put on display could be called (because most of them are fairly well known now) achievers, the crème de la crème of the institution. They include individuals from the department of fine art to communication design to architecture etc. There are more than a dozen of them from different graduating years, which makes the show all the more exciting for it lends a distinct eclectic touch to the arrangement. It is hard (and unjust) to comment on the artworks put up by each one of them, therefore a summarised version of their collective effort might suffice.
