| New Delhi: Indian art is going places this summer. Contemporary artist Manish Pushkale is heading to Europe and says "it's vacation time".
He will exhibit jointly with senior artist S.H. Raza during the Venice Biennale at Gallery Bugno. The biennale begins on June 7. On June 9, Pushkale's show opens at the Galerie Muller & Plate at Munich.
Galerie Muller & Plate has a long love affair with Indian contemporary art, having exhibited artists like Ambadas, Jahangir Jani, Amitava Das, F.N. Souza, Harsha Vardhana S., Iranna G.R, Jagannath Panda, Bose Krishnamachari and Mithu Sen.
"I am looking forward to interacting with European audiences," Pushkale said. He will be showing with German artist Julia Ziegelmaier.
The Delhi-based Seven Arts Gallery is taking works by 22 leading artists to an exhibition "India Xianhai" at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Shanghai in the first ever show dedicated to Indian contemporary art in China by a museum.
The exhibition will also facilitate intellectual and aesthetic exchange between Indian and Chinese artists in a panel discussion. The show which begins July 10 is being supported by the governments of both countries.
"The discussion will host young Indian artists like Jitish Kallat, Thukral & Tagra, Prashanta Mandal, Mithu Sen and Alexander Keefe," one of the curators of the exhibition, Aparajita Jain of the Seven Arts Gallery, said.
The exhibition roots on the premise that Indian culture and history have acted as inspiration for diverse groups of artists, not only within India but also those residing abroad, Jain said.
Artist Gunjan Gupta will present her wrap works in an exhibition "Inspired by India" at Sotheby's on June 8. Gupta's wrap products innovate on the ancient Indian tradition of wrapping precious metals around wood used for making 17th century thrones and to make contemporary images.
"Gunjan's works speak for themselves," Jain of Seven Arts Gallery, which is presenting the works at Sotheby's, said.(IANS) |
