Beirut-born, Mumbai-raised Vikram Divecha (b.1977) is an artist based in the UAE. He has developed a pedestrian practice in Dubai. Constantly negotiating for existing space, material and labour, he works with what he terms 'found processes'- forces and capacities that prevail in society. By situating himself within these urban operations he attempts to work through state, social and economic systems. This has seen him align himself with trading houses, municipal gardeners, rock-blasting engineers, non-architects and other diverse faculties. His engagements translate into situations, public art, permanent fixtures, sculptural installations and video works.

Vikram Divecha is currently part of Tashkeel's Critical Practice Programme.
