| New Delhi: Indian art has gone global in the past decades. Opening out to the world brings new influences, opportunities, audiences, forms of circulation and means of production.
"Where in the World", a two-month exhibition that closes on May 2 at the Devi Art Foundation, a private art archive in Gurgaon, addresses the impact of globalisation on Indian art.
The exhibition curated by students of Jawaharlal Nehru University's School of Arts and Aesthetics consists mostly of installations, sculptures and digital art.
The artworks have been sourced from the Lekha Poddar and Anupam Poddar collection. The show flaunts a mix big and small names like Atul Dodiya, Subodh Gupta, Shilpa Gupta, Sonia Khurana, Sheba Chhachi, Mithu Sen, T.V. Santosh and Sudarshan Shetty.
"Love", an evocative installation by Shetty, shows a Braille typewriter incessantly typing out the word love. The repetitive production of the wordmimics the mindless reproduction of the word in our daily lives, say the young curators.
"Love begins with a basic human emotion and, at the other end of the spectrum, its a remarkable phenomenon," Shetty says. The use of Braille also conveys that "love is blind".
To mark the end of the exhibition, the Devi Art Foundation will organise an open session with the on artists May 2.(IANS) |
