2. Edge Of Desire

Edge of Desire: Recent Art in India
This exhibition presents the work of thirty-six artists and three collectives from both urban and rural India produced from 1990 to the present. The selection explores the role of place and desire in the creation of visual art in contemporary India, at a time defined by economic globalization and political fundamentalism. The exhibition investigates the impact of these germinal forces on the work of a diverse group of artists who represent different generations, regions, and social contexts. Their work spans several professional, material, and disciplinary boundaries, extending across urban, gallery-based practice and Adivasi (the tribal peoples of India), folk, and popular visual cultures. There are clearly discernible links, dialogues, and arguments across this spectrum. The exhibition contributes to a contemporary understanding of the diversity of visual culture in contemporary India.

11. KG Arts – Indian Paintings
“Indian art has flourished over the past 5000 years, captured and expressed through the ages in architecture, sculpture, miniature painting, textile, wood carving, print making and photography. While being a historical record of the various religions that flourished worldwide (Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Islam and even Christianity), it also survives as a witness to political struggle, social movements, spirituality and the dynamic cultural identity & diversity of India.
Hari Narayan, the promoter of K.G. Arts India, is an art connoisseur with considerable experience, hailing from a family that has played a role in the development of art. It is a great pleasure bringing to you this glimpse of the rich tapestry of India’s cultural heritage”
