#DiscoverHongKong: Experience digital arts throughout the city. ‘The Shape of Light’, co-commissioned by M+ and Art Basel, is a moving image work by Ellen Pau that intertwines live action performance and spectacular sci-fi sequences, delivering an awe-inspiring animation on the M+ Facade. This site-specific work explores the possibilities of the immaterial and the material, transforming light into digital objects. Featuring a popular scripture in Buddhism, 'The Heart Sutra', it draws upon new connections between the sutra and the energies of Hong Kong. ‘The Shape of Light’ meditates on the spiritual concept - ‘form is emptiness, emptiness is form’, expressed through sign language and other ritualistic gestures. Natural phenomena like fire, water, and light are all rendered in striking computer-generated animation. . #artscene #art #artists

Magazine: "It was a balmy evening at the NCPA when the thought first struck me. How do we make modern Indian art available to intelligent and curious people, in the country and elsewhere? How do we get them to access our energetic contemporary scene? I realized that there was a great deal of interest which needed to be channelized. I also realized that a platform to bring artists and critics together was the need of the hour. . The idea of ART India was born and, over the years, it germinated and grew. Raised in this great city by the sea, ART India has been nurtured and nourished by the collective passions of writers and artists, students and teachers, patrons and enthusiasts. . In its 25 years, it has gone from strength to strength. We have faced our share of ups and downs with equanimity and our belief in what we call, ‘the knowledge project’ has been unassailable. We have managed our teething troubles and growing pains with great faith in the life-affirming power of the well-thought-out word – it opens doors to enriching conversations and suggests new ways of seeing. Thanks to all my advisors, editors and writers, and most importantly, thanks to Sajjan and my children, and the JSW family, we have managed to grow as a magazine that has faithfully held a mirror to the changing face of the art world." - Read an excerpt from the Prelude by Sangita Jindal, Founder and President of ART India, in our latest 'Quadranscentennial' issue. ART India is celebrating its silver jubilee this year. To subscribe click the link in bio. . #ArtIndiaat25 #artmagazine #silverjubilee #ModernAndContemporaryArt #artists #artquarterlymagazine

Join us for our next 'Virtual Gallery Visit' as the team at the DAG (Giles Tillotson and Kishore Singh) takes over our Instagram handle tomorrow to present 'Les Hindous (The Hindus)', a show by the 18th century European artist Baltazard Solvyns. There will be a virtual walkthrough of the show on Insta Live at 5 pm tomorrow. Opening on 31 July, 2021, at the Bikaner House, New Delhi, this show is a foreigner’s view of India’s past during the 18th century. It comprises a body of work that focuses on Bengal and neighbouring regions, where the Flemish artist lived and worked from 1791 for over a decade. Exploring a detailed and intimate portrait of a people at a given moment in history, 'Les Hindous (The Hindus)' includes representatives of every profession and every level of Indian society, depicts festivals and sacred rites, portrays animals, birds and insects, trees and crops, and records all the various kinds of boats, carriages and musical instruments that were then in common use. The show is curated by Giles Tillotson, Senior Vice President, Exhibitions and Publications at DAG, and will be on view until 20 August, 2021. . #baltazardsolvyn #walkthrough #instatakeover #artshow #artists

News | Nature Morte is showcasing a series of new works by Delhi-based artist Tanya Goel on its recently launched online Viewing Room. Titled ‘Pause in a Flicker’, it will be on view until 25 June 2020. The Viewing Room will be an avenue for the gallery to showcase new works being made by its artists, despite the current lack of actual exhibitions in their gallery space. In most cases, the artists will be responding to the current situation by thinking outside of their own comfort zones and creating works from a new perspective. . The Press Release states, “Venturing into the realm of photography for the first time, Goel started with her own paintings, using photographic details of them as the first layer of lenticular prints (the type of photograph, usually used in commercial contexts, which changes as one moves past it, revealing multiple images within a single frame). Combined with these details of her paintings, already an abstracted notion of the city, are images of architecture and horticulture, all chosen by the artist with a critical eye, to make references to both Modern and Colonial sub-structures within the city.” . .
