| NEW YORK, Sept 10 (NNN-PTI) -- A month-long exhibition of contemporary Indian art exploring the themes of cultural dislocation, memory, exile and spiritual inheritances implicit in the word diaspora will begin here on September 13. The Exhibition of Contemporary Indian Art of the Diaspora, curated by Vijay Kumar and on till October 18 at the Queen's Museum of Art, is a mix of painting, drawing and prints, photographs, C-prints, photo montages and videos, sculpture and installation of 27 contemporary artists. Organised by Indo-American Arts Council (IAAC),the exhibition explores and draws from the experiences of artists whose origins can be traced to the Indian subcontinent. "Quite a few of the artists -- both abstract and figurative -- describe their work (or the impetus behind it) in spiritual terms, and many of the works comment directly on environmental and political issues," says curator Kumar.--NNN-PTI |
