The Sculpture Park in Jaipur takes art out of the confines of the white cube to public spaces

- By Rahul Kumar

Stepping Out of the Box

Imagine a contemporary work of art that is deeply layered and concept-laden. Now, place it in an 11th-century fort in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Juxtaposing a heritage space that has stood for over a thousand years with a highly contemporary object, almost merging history with the present and future, makes it unique. Founded by The Saat Saath Arts Foundation, the fifth edition of The Sculpture Park was recently launched in collaboration with the Jaipur Centre for Art (JCA) at the Jaigarh Fort. Curator Peter Nagy says, "I looked for works that had a relationship with the decorative arts and would create a dialogue with the wall paintings."
