In this issue
We have one of our finest artists Shilpa Gupta collaborating with
institution builders and cultural workers Sneha Ragavan and Vidya
Shivadas – they have guest edited an issue for us this time. ‘What
keeps You Awake at Night?’ is the prompt around which they have
built the edifice of the issue, gathering strong voices and steering them
effectively. Along with this special issue is our regular magazine, the
one that you are holding. Interestingly, it comprises ‘The Morning
After’, a shadow prompt that responds to the question raised by the
guest editors, complementing and complicating it.

Art India Magazine Description:
Publisher: Art India
Category: Art
Language: English
Frequency: Quarterly
ART India is India's premier art magazine: over the last 25 years, it has been responsible for the promotion of a critical discourse around diverse art forms, activities and disciplines.
As an important forum for discussing, interrogating and appreciating art practices, ART India has been responsible for giving a platform to artists and critics to engage in a mutually replenishing intellectual dialogue with each other. This has led to the fostering of a vibrant atmosphere of sustained debate around crucial issues linked to the theory and practice of painting, sculpture, installation art, new media art, photography and architecture.
We have taken care to be multi-disciplinary in our approach as well as to dwell on diverse visual cultural issues of importance and urgency.
ART India has been launched successfully in Dubai, New York, London, Lahore, and Karachi, among other international venues.
ART India has a huge international following and has been chosen by Beaux Arts magazine, Paris, as one of the leading art magazines in the world.
