If you’re interested in art, collect art, want to invest in future masters, or simply want to pick up something for a song, the 56th annual art exhibition of the College of Art, New Delhi, opens on March 17, with 2,000 student works on display and sale. Open till March 21, you’ll find sculpture, digital art, paintings and works in mixed media that look at current political or social issues, or address aesthetics and creativity. Don’t miss this one.
Also in Delhi, yesterday and today, Vishal Kumar Dar’s large format interactive work on the façade of the British Council Library building on the busy Kasturba Gandhi Marg, which uses the Charles Correa façade as its canvas, will turn you, or other visitors, into silhouettes through real-time tracking via cameras. An interesting experiment in which you can be both participant and observer.
Gallery Threshold is partnering with Religare’s arts.i at its gallery space for The Human Animal curated by Marta Jakimowicz, that investigates relationships between humans and animals in a particularly distinctive show. From march 15 to April 4.
Two other interesting shows in the capital include one of digital art by Shalini Saran at Art Motif, and another, on Bengal patachitras, at Art Konsult. Check them out.
In Mumbai, Veer Munshi’s Shrapnel opens on March 19 (till April 4) at the Tao Art Gallery. The show has been curated by Ranjit Hoskote. Part one of Sanstache Art Gallery’s The Miniature Format Show is on till April 8 in Mumbai, and will be followed by two more parts till June 2009.
Another interesting show is Sheila Makhijani’s Scuttle at Bodhi, Mumbai, till April 22. The 24 gouache on paper drawings and seven steel sculptures are representative of the artist’s carefree and expressive energy, and are alliterative of an inter-weaving of narratives.
