Life, today, is a matter of such criminal tragedy, that India has become a satirical canvas expanding with each passing day.

A Telling Impact

A moving tribute to the mesmerising storyteller, Ankit Chadha, who passed away in a tragic accident recently, showing us in his passing and through his fellow performer’s words, that some lights, and words, can never be extinguished.

Amar Kanwar: The Lightning Testimonies And The Sovereign Forest

It starts with a single-channel video, 42 minutes long, that shows the impressive landscapes of Odisha. They are images captured with a poetic sensibility and intimate precision that allow viewers to explore the beauty of these landscapes while simultaneously encouraging reflection: a fisherman casts his net at dusk to the sound of birds and insects; a snaking estuary as it flows out to sea; and the interplay of the different greens of blades of grass and rice.

An Immersive Experience

Self-taught artist and author, Manish Pushkale lives in his South Delhi home with his studio in the basement of the building. The façade faces the Chor Minar (Tower of Thieves), a 13th century minaret built under the rule of Alauddin Khilji. The backyard of the house shares a wall with a temple. A trustee of the Raza Foundation, Pushkale literally and metaphorically lives between history and religion. We talk to him about his love for the arts and philosophy.

Tracing the patterns of history in something as tangible as architecture can be daunting and exhilarating, as is evident in this comprehensive study of ‘The Governor’s Residence in Tranquebar: The House and the Daily Life of Its People, 1770–1845’ edited by Esther Fihl.

Unravelling The Narrative

Through two exciting and diverse socially engaged practices by artists in Australia, we look at what it means to reject the narrative and celebrate the unfinished, the open-ended and the cyclic reality of human engagement.

On Shimmering Air

Artist Sumakshi Singh shares her thoughts about the criss-crossing rivers of time and memory and why the poetry inherent in the act of embroidery is perhaps one way of navigating this space of unknowability

Fiona Tan: Shadow Archive

In the late 19th century, two young Belgian jurists – Paul Otlet (1868–1944), the father of documentation, and Henri La Fontaine (1854–1943), a Nobel Peace Prize laureate – conceived of a project that sought to gather the world’s knowledge and file it using the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) system that they had created.

Pieta By Cesare Lucchini

Rosenfeld Porcini is located in a quiet by-lane just off the busy Oxford Street in Central London.

A Single Shade Of Equal

The Aravani Art Project is more than just transgender women painting murals on walls – it is a deeply woven dialogue of equality and experience, bringing a much-needed, warmer, inclusive perspective to sexuality and belonging

A House With A View

Rarely does one come across a house that is built around art. The Passi residence in South Delhi was conceived of keeping in mind their envious collection of art and furniture that represent avant-garde design trends. ‘All the walls of our home are painted white so the works of art can remain the focus, and all the corridors and halls are designed to be like mini- galleries with proper lighting,’ says Shalini Passi, patron of the Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art and founder of the recently launched Shalini Passi Foundation that focuses on supporting artists working in new media.

The updated version of Bollywood’s ‘son of the soil’ trope, Gully Boy’s troubled roots don’t stop him from shooting towards the sky

The Middle Ground

An applied artist by education, a print-maker at heart, Amit Kumar Jain always wanted to be an artist. It was only after two attempts at the National Institute of Design (Ahmedabad), one at the Faculty of Fine Arts (Vadodara), and three at the College of Art (New Delhi), that he could pursue his dream. Passionate about modern and contemporary art, as-well-as living traditions of India, he calls himself a middle-class collector, with a modest aim to “bust the notion that only big monies can buy art”. I met him at his Noida home, when he was in between jobs after leaving his role of Associate Vice President with Saffronart (the largest Indian auction house) to join the upcoming Museum of Art and Photography in Bengaluru as the Head of Exhibitions.
