This exhibition, the first one of its kind in North America, will change your view of India. Devoted to contemporary photography and video art in India, this show is comprised of over 100 works that vividly reflect the interior and exterior realities of today's India.
Come view the works of 28 photographers and video artists, including Raghu Rai and the late Raghubir Singh, and emerging talents such as Tejal Shah and Shilpa Gupta. Each artist has used his or her medium to provide rich insights into the dynamics shaping the contemporary Indian psyche.
This unexpected and revealing exhibition demonstrates the artistic vitality arising from extreme economic and political shifts, the pervasive influence of the media, and cultural traditions competing with globalization.
Zette Emmons, The Newark Museum's Manager of Traveling Exhibitions, serves as the exhibition's Project Manager. She, along with Co-Curators Gayatri Sinha, Independent Curator and Art Critic in India, and Paul Sternberger, Associate Professor of Art History, Rutgers University, have coordinated the development of this exhibition.
The exhibition will run from September 19, 2007 to January 6, 2008. -- www.newarkmuseum.org
