Gallery Ragini is presenting a show, entitled ‘Creating Commonwealth’. It’s inspired by the Games, and refers to the British influence visible in our life. The gallery owner, Nidhi Jain, has been quoted as saying in a Hindustan Times new report by Aakriti Sawhney:
“The British Raj has left an imperial legacy behind, which is reflected in our history, culture and of course, art. That is the main focus of our exhibit. We have 30 contemporary artists, presenting a range of art work from digital to canvas, sculptures and art installations. We even have international artists from different Commonwealth countries, facilitating an understanding and experience of how the imperial rule affected societies.”Religare Art Gallery will come up with an exhibit ‘Looking Glass — The Existence of difference’. It features leading contemporary Indian artists. Mukesh Panika, Religare Arts Initiative director, explains that it’s a project to mark three major events — an exhibit, an international seminar on the theme ‘Art Practices in an Age of Cultural Relativism’ plus book launch. Through the show, the gallery is projecting the works of contemporary artists to the outside world on the eve of Commonwealth Games.
Rupika Chawla presents a conceptual show, called ‘Art celebrates! 2010’, at Lalit Kala Akademi. It brings together 12 galleries from the city. This show focuses on sports and their relevance in the miniature paintings and contemporary works. Among the participating galleries are Gallery Espace and Art Alive.
Other shows to watch out for as reported by HT are:
Double whammy: An exhibition of contemporary photography
Fluid forms: A solo exhibit by fine art photographer Farah Ahmed
Duality: The show is replete with images that defy conventional landscape photography.
