4000 words of less

4000 words or less is a new online initiative by SPHERE where curators of the organization converse with various artists to present new ways of experiencing their art in connection with contemporary socio-political conditions.

Curated by Aishwarya Kumar @aikuiye_ , who is also the Director of Programming, these stand-alone essays are published as bi-quarterly pieces, about and with the respective artist.

Written as a way to address the responsibilities and thought processes of a practicing curator, the texts exist also as a critique of the current, oftentimes, inaccessible language, practice, and theories of curatorial work.
