'In the Fullness of Time'

Jagrut Raval (b. 1986, Ahmedabad, India) received an M.F.A. in photography (2014) and an M.A. in photography (2013), both from SCAD, and a bachelor of design from CEPT University, Ahmedabad, India, in 2011. His interdisciplinary art practice spans diverse mediums at various scales, presented in the form of installations, alternative photographic printing techniques, videos, drawings, and appropriation of found and mass-produced items. Raval’s interests lie in the homogeneity of media that allows experimentation with imagery and its spatial relationship. Inquiries into the notion of time as experience and its relationship to the human condition, Raval’s works critique established truths by investigating, challenging, and subverting perceptions about collective memory in the public sphere — and its manifestation in architecture.

Raval has exhibited internationally at venues including Goethe-Institut Max Mueller Bhavan, Delhi and Kolkata, India; Medrar Contemporary Art, Cairo, Egypt; Museum of Goa, India. He is the recipient of various fellowships and residencies, such as the Künstlerhaus Schloss Balmoral Fellowship, University of Mainz, Germany, and the Crystal Ruth Bell Residency, Beijing, China.
