A collage of histories and meanings at Jhaveri Contemporary
by Sourav Roy
Group Show at Jhaveri Contemporary
April 24th - May 24th
Posted
5/20/13
‘Considering Collages’: a survey show of collages is exciting by definition because it’s a rare occurrence. Collages, especially the paper-and-glue ( French ‘coller’ meaning ‘ to glue / to paste’) kinds, which are often playful experiments in forms, materials and contexts made from found objects, tick exactly the wrong kind of boxes as far as the contemporary Indian art scene is concerned.But the post 1947 collagescape at Jhaveri Contemporary with 14 artists ( born bet...

Parul Thacker and an exercise in digital meaning-making
by Sourav Roy
Parul Thacker at Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke
March 19th - April 29th
Posted
4/28/13
After a visit to the wonderland of forms that’s Parul Thacker’s first solo at Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke, the whole process of meaning-making ( of contemporary art) is bound to come under fresh scrutiny.
All the available texts on the artist and her works, struggle to put her into a context, and visibly strain to find a broader theme beyond the striking yet enigmatic forms. And it’s not hard to see why. Her background is unconventional (Bachelor’s in textile design at Sophia Polytechnic Mumbai, then a ... [more]

Me, etc. : Narcissicon by Kiran Subbaiah
by Sourav Roy
Kiran Subbaiah at Chatterjee & Lal Gallery
December 21st, 2012 - February 9th
Posted
4/14/13
Kiran Subbaiah wanted to kill himself in Suicide Note (2006) because that’s the way truly famous people rolled, according to him. While viewing Narcissicon (2012), it seemed that he had made a miserable botch of a suicide. Because this time, his selves have multiplied, taken up residence together and freely borrow clothes from each other, get into scuffles, stabbings and passive-aggressive arguments.
Kiran Subbaiah, a contemporary artist based in Bengaluru has been delighting and provoking us with his conceptual scu... [more]

“Life is a game of minutes”- Rob, Competitor, The Amazing Race, Season 1
“...that essentially Gallic individual, the deliberately aimless pedestrian, unencumbered by any obligation or sense of urgency, who, being French and therefore frugal, wastes nothing, including his time which he spends with the leisurely discrimination of a gourmet, savoring the multiple flavors of his city.” - Cornelia Otis Skinner on flâneurs
If a flâneur ever meets an Amazing Racer, they probably won’... [more]

Breath by Shirazeh Houshiary at Jhaveri Contemporary : A Review

Shirazeh Houshiary at Jhaveri Contemporary

Posted
3/31/13
Being overtly spiritual doesn’t seem to be the norm in the contemporary art world. It’s amusing, considering that contemporary art world is more or less a faith-based system that combines ‘an uneasy godlessness with a religious memory’1: the cult of a faithful few, visiting hallowed premises of esoteric objects, where meanings are made and unmade by the high priests of scholarship.
Thoughts like these are bound to cross one’s mind when one is en route to the first Indian solo exhi... [more]

eye, etc. by Anita Dube: A review
by Sourav Roy
Anita Dube at Lakeeren Art Gallery
January 10th - March 27th
Posted
3/28/13
It’s an understatement that Anita Dube is a mistress of metonymy. Even the fact that she lifts and airdrops the viewer in the uneasy boundaries of thoughts and things, is also routine by now. Yet, while marvelling at the Lakeeren show of five installations made with ceramic votive eyes, one can’t but state the obvious. What’s not obvious is that, in spite of experimenting with these ready-mades since the late 1990s, she still inspires a fresh pair of eyes.
All five works on display are made w... [more]

Visitors to Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum Mumbai this summer will be confronted by the vision of a giant cobweb made up of oversized rubber stamps on its prim Palladian facade. Though it bears the name of Reena Saini Kallat as the creator, imaginative children might look around for an escapee giant spider from the neighbouring zoo. This public work of art, Untitled (Cobweb / Crossings), is a collaboration between ZegnArt / Public, an initiative of the Italian Fashion Major Ermenegildo Zegna, and th... [more]

Barbara Ash’s recent collection of works challenges stereotypical ideas about women
2/2
"I think it’s depressing that girls are constantly surrounded by messages that are telling them they are not acceptable unless they follow this narrow orthodoxy,” said Barbara Ash, whose sculptures and drawings have strong roots in women’s struggle with the image centric world. “It marginalises the majority and puts a focus on superficial issues rather than in de...

Special Edition: India Art Fair

MUMBAI TO NEW DELHI
At India Art Fair 2013, Mumbai galleries are well represented. Deepika Sorabjee takes a look.
12/12/12 saw India’s first art biennale open in Kochi. Spectacular artworks in incredible spaces came up amid chaos and uncertainty. Quite unlike the slick efficiency that we associate with the now well established India Art Fair. It’s nice to have both, the chaos of creativity in the inception of a biennale, and the efficiency of private enterprise cementing a successful art fair in its fifth edi... [more]
