In India, a Busy Fair and a Spirited Art Scene

Still, the summit faced its share of typically Indian challenges. One dealer kept a worried eye on a tangle of electrical cables buried under the carpet. Ms. Kirpal had to get the 10 domes of the exhibition hall covered with waterproof sheeting at the last minute. And thugs threatened the exhibition of India’s most famous painter, M.F. Husain; the Hindu right has for years railed against Mr. Husain for his representations of Hindu goddesses in the nude. Ms. Kirpal agreed to put up his works, then, fearing attacks, ordered them taken down, but was again persuaded to let them be mounted. By then Mr. Husain’s defenders had publicly criticized fair organizers.

Full speed ahead at the India Art Summit

Source Financial Times by Jan Dalley
It seemed, however, that the extra press attention was hardly necessary. The four days of the event, which is now in its third edition, attracted an astonishing 128,000 visitors to the 84 galleries, roughly equivalent to the footfall at Frieze and Art Basel Miami Beach put together. Even allowing for the fact that, whether it’s a bus or a birthday party, there are always more people in India, this figure seemed to amaze everyone, even the organisers. “This shows,” Kirpal tells me, “that people are thirsty for art. Some had never even been to a gallery before.”

Mumbai wallah's curated guide to New Delhi

Source CNN by Himali Singh Soin
The sky in New Delhi seems as whitewashed as its bungalows, its sunsets are muted and its monuments silhouetted. But this façade is exactly what makes New Delhi a literary and imaginative experiment. There is a haze that veils every surface: culturally, socially and topographically. The first way to ride above or below the immediate surface is on the Metro. It glistens with the pride of a new house on Diwali, and makes up, in honesty and efficiency, for the disillusionment that came with the administration of the Commonwealth Games. So Mumbaiwallahs in Dilli for the India Art Summit or on their way to the Jaipur Literature Festival, here's a ride through New Delhi's culture corners: Connaught Place, Lodhi Road and Hauz Khas Village.

Tribal art is out, contemporary non-metropolitan art is in

Source TimeOut Mumbai by Deepanjana Pal
This fortnight, the city’s two oldest galleries attempt to reintroduce Mumbai’s art lovers to what Hoskote calls “the third field” or “contemporary non-metropolitan art”. This combination of urban, contemporary, personal and traditional motifs or styles makes the contemporary non-metropolitan artists exciting for viewers and those who are speculating about the next big thing of Indian art. Unlike their urban counterparts, non-metropolitan artists have as their foundation an informal but rigorous training in the techniques they use in their paintings. If they are able to absorb newer influences and incorporate them into the existing artistic language in a way that retains their distinctive styles, these artists may well become the toast of Indian contemporary art.

Summit Kind of Wonderful

Source Artforum by Zehra Jumabhoy
I guessed that this year’s India Art Summit was going to be an intimidating event. I was wrong. In fact, the building’s severe Soviet-style architecture formed a counterpoint to the hedonist revelry within. Alcohol flowed freely (quite literally: cocktails were on the house), and celebrities appeared high on art—or each other. Theorist Homi Bhabha paraded around with his pal, Anish Kapoor, who rubbed sharp-suited shoulders with superstar Indian artists: Subodh Gupta, Bharti Kher, Vivan Sundaram, and Gigi Scaria (whose work will show up in India’s Pavilion at the next Venice Biennale). The omnipresent Hans Ulrich Obrist dashed about (presumably in preparation for the KHOJ Marathon he was hosting on day two). Sheena Wagstaff of the Tate Modern fraternized with art historian Geeta Kapur (diligently wielding her walking stick). Every once in a while someone bumped into the armed security guards “protecting” M.F. Husain’s controversial paintings.

Nude artist 'taking a break'

Source The Straits Times by Yip Wai Yee
The Indian artist who caused a stir at the inaugural art fair at the Marina Bay Sands Exhibition and Convention Centre by stripping naked has stopped his attention-getting act. The artist, Mr T. Venkanna, who sat on a bench in the nude and took pictures with visitors, was not in the booth on Friday. Some newspapers had gone to town with the Hyderabad artist's act at Art Stage Singapore, questioning whether it could be considered art. A lawyer was quoted as saying the show could be against the law as it is an offence to appear nude in public. The art fair, which opened to the public on Thursday, is considered a public event. The exposure proved to be too much for some people. On Friday morning, Gallery Maskara's owner, Mr Abhay Maskara, told The Straits Times over the phone that the gallery was asked to stop the performance. He did not say who advised him to do so. He said: 'It is always a bit disheartening when works of art are not seen as art. We did not set out to create any controversy.' Mr Venkanna had sat behind a black curtain and a sign was posted in front of the booth, warning viewers of the content and restricting viewers to those who are 21 years and older.

India needs more world class art institutions

When we started our dedicated Chinese contemporary art sales in 2004, the auctions were generating around $6 million. In 2010, the sale totals for our Chinese art auctions are around $196 million. This is phenomenal when compared to India which has gone from around $2 million to $20 million in the same period... Countries such as China, and even Russia, have had a tremendous state investment in cultural infrastructure such as museums that India doesn’t. The average Indian art buyer isn’t very eager or well informed. The ball is rolling now, but it’ll still take 5-10 years to catch up. And that’s a conservative estimate.

"They Will Eventually Change the Art World": Hans Ulrich Obrist on India's Rising Art Scene

I would say Indian art is an incredible force in the international art scene today, with such great artists. It is very prolific, since India is not just about one city — there is good art coming out of all the big cities across India. Also, it's not just one generation of young artists. There's a strong history from the 1960s through the 90s right up to now. And it's easy to feel its international presence. I think collectively they will eventually change the art world... Like the sudden 16th-century shift from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, this is a similar big shift, and there's going to be an ever-increasing dynamics in China, in India, and in the Middle East.

The future of art lies in design art where art, craft and design is blended to create an interactive form of art.

With public art spaces struggling to survive, private patrons are filling the void by organizing exhibitions, often of their own collections. In India, arts patron Anupam Poddar has taken a similar hands-on role in sharing his collection with the public. The scion of a noted industrialist family, he has assembled, together with his mother, more than 5,000 pieces of Indian tribal, folk, and modernist art; contemporary pieces compose about 40 percent of the collection. In the fall of 2008, they inaugurated the Devi Art Foundation... As the first private museum for contemporary art in India, Devi serves as an institutional model for other arts patrons, and Poddar is hopeful that it will spark other similar projects.

The graphic novel is inherently an interpretative form and relies much on swift audacities. In India, where graphic novels still have the shine of a young cult, we tend to ignore this and rely instead on other novelties — such as the surprise of deploying indigenous art for this modern form, as with architect Gautam Bhatia’s recent collaboration with Mughal miniature painters. Now, we have two Gond tribal artists from Bhopal who’ve produced a graphic novel that narrates a few episodes from the life of BR Ambedkar. As with Vishwajyoti Ghosh’s meticulous Delhi Calm or George Mathen’s muscularly silent Moonward, Bhimayana is more art, less novel.

After a gut-wrenching correction that has largely eliminated the wannabe money throwers, the art market is back on a surer footing. In 2002, Bhupen Khakhar’s Buddha in Thailand sold for $8,963 at Christie’s. The same painting was bought in 2010 for $52,500, having appreciated 486 percent in less than eight years. Never mind that the world went through a recession that saw the art market virtually collapse. Yes, the good news is that art investment is back in business.

For the first time, India will have a pavilion at the Venice Biennale this year. Which artists will represent the country?

And as it turns out, it’s not a coterie of contemporary art stars like Subodh Gupta, Atul Dodiya and Jitish Kallat, to name a few. Instead, Mr. Hoskote looked beyond the auction catalogs and the buzzing art — market hubs of New Delhi and Mumbai, and tapped lesser — known artists to represent India at the fair, which is more than a century old and considered by many to be the most influential art show in the world. Mr. Hoskote, who served as co-curator of the 2008 Gwangju Biennale in South Korea, said he wants to “stretch the idea of India,” and build a Venice pavilion designed around the themes of history, migration and displacement, with a transcultural approach.
