Indian (Sub) Way

Group Show
21st September to 9th October
Grosvenor Vadehra, London

The broad parameters of day-to-day existence in the India of the present with its opulence and its seamier underside form the edgy, subterranean theme of the exhibition Indian (Sub) Way. The traditional way of being, formal yet feisty, altered with the modernization process which gained pace after India's independence. In recent decades the high-tech onslaught brought about by globalisation has introduced sweeping changes within cities and has not left villages untouched. The uneven form of development creates bizarre, somewhat comic situations where an eclectic internationalism jostles with the local, even archaic modes. The artists seem to ask 'Where indeed is the 'Indian Way' heading?' The participating artists are Atul Bhalla, Anita Dube, Anandjit Ray, GR Iranna, Gargi Raina, Gigi Scaria, Jagannath Panda, Manjunath Kamath, Mithu Sen, Nataraj Sharma, Probir Gupta, Ravinder Reddy, Riyas Komu, Shibu Natesan, Sudhanshu Sutar, Sujit SN, Sunoj D and TV Santhosh. The show is curetted by Yashodhara Dalmia.
