‘Conversation’, Jujiflora Wood and tyre, 2019
“Selfish-Love” is inspired by Hasidic Rabbi Twerski’s words on the difference between true love is one of giving as opposed to selfish love which only receives. “Love” has all but lost its meaning in our culture. Watch the video on youtube: https://youtu.be/uURgFUqGX9Y
22.06.2019
“Selfish- Love” was awarded the Biafarin Award along with 10 young artists at NordArt 2018. For the selection of 10 artists, NordArt audience votes were also considered.
Since 1999 the NordArt has established itself as one of the largest exhibitions of contemporary art in Europe which takes place annually in the summer months. The NordArt is an overall work of art in its own right and is designed as such each year. More than 200 international artists, selected by a jury, present a comprehensive panorama of contemporary art. Each individual work not only speaks for itself but also creates new perspectives when seen juxtaposed against the unique backdrop offered by the Carlshütte and the adjacent historical sculpture park.

Taking place late August, the Cottesloe 2017 Rio Tinto Sculpture Award acquisitive prize was installed in Busselton, Western Australia. An opening ceremony was officially opened by Rio Tinto CEO Chris Salisbury, welcoming the Column of Sound, by Harsha Vardhan Durugadda for permanent placement.
Formally gifted to the City of Busselton – Local Government, the sculpture was re-interpreted to reflect the sounds of Busselton via a frequency of a sound recording taken at Busselton by the artist. The second instalment of this prize from Cottesloe Principal Partner Rio Tinto, the Column of Sound sculpture joins the Dale Miles, Parallel Thinking sculpture located nearby which was the recipient of the award during Cottesloe 2016.

The $50,000 Rio Tinto Sculpture Award has been awarded to Harsha Vardhan Durugadda of India for his work ‘Column of Sound’ at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe (pictured).
The award was announced by Chris Salisbury, chief executive Rio Tinto Iron Ore at the opening of Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe.
Rio Tinto, our Principal Partner, is gifting ‘Column of Sound’ for permanent public placement to the City of Busselton.
Durugadda says of his work, “‘Column of Sound‘ is based on the visual dynamics of an audio wave. Sound – temporal and ephemeral – translated to tactile and eternal. A paradigm shift of our sensory experience.”
This is Durugadda’s first Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe exhibition, having received the Andrea Stretton Memorial Invitation from Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi 2016.
Founding Director of Sculpture by the Sea, David Handley, AM said, “This is a wonderful work by a fabulous and imaginative artist. It is exceptionally hard and adventurous for an artist to exhibit from overseas, with the added costs and logistics, so I am delighted for Harsha and look forward to him exhibiting many times in the future. He is also a very nice bloke and this award will be a major step in what I believe will be a great career.”
The Rio Tinto Sculpture Award was selected by a judging panel of leading figures in the visual arts:
- Dr. Stefano Carboni- Director, Art Gallery of Western Australia;
- Geoffrey Edwards- Former Director, Geelong Gallery, Victoria and former Senior Curator of Sculpture, National Gallery of Victoria; and
- Dr. Nien Schwarz- Artist & Senior Lecturer, School of Communications and Arts, Edith Cowan University.
Chris Salisbury, Chief Executive of Rio Tinto’s Iron Ore group said, “Rio Tinto is pleased to continue our support of Sculpture by the Sea in 2017, a partnership we embarked on last year, in our 50th anniversary year of shipping iron ore from the Pilbara. Such events like Sculpture by the Sea play an important role in creating a sense of place and encouraging social participation.
Congratulations to Harsha Vardhan Durugadda for receiving the Rio Tinto Sculpture Award for your thought provoking sculpture ‘Column of Sound’.
Durugadda was born in Andhra Pradesh, India and lives in New Delhi. Join us in extending congratulations to the artist.
A time-lapse video showing the fabrication process of my latest large-scale sculpture titled Ignite.
‘Whirling Out’, Harsha vardhan’s debut solo show brought together a body of works incorporating diverse media such as sculpture, video, performance and installations. He believes his work is about the other and even personal history is somehow very peripheral to him. Harsha tries to shift the focus from the individual, particularly the artist himself towards the other; plainly spinning out.
