Chen Haoyi's List: 印度當代藝術

• “印度特性”的構成與當今“全球一體化”之間的對話
• 其中一些作品是專門為“印度現在”創作的。展覽的設計基於這樣一個共同主題，表現印度在政治和社會參與方面的積極性以及它對於外國媒體所報道的“印度特性”的反饋。

• ndia Art Summit, India’s international art fair, closed last week with a record 40,000 footfalls over 4 days. In its second year running, the fair has been instrumental in bringing an international and domestic focus to the Indian market - with participating galleries making sales of approximately 26 crore INR ( 5.3 million USD) from a total value of exhibited artworks of approximately 40 to 50 crore INR (8.2 million to 10.2 million USD). In all, galleries sold over 50% of the works exhibited, which is well over the international art fair average of 20-30% indicating the appetite of the new Indian art market. Further, about 80% of participating galleries sold more than 2 to 3 works each with some Indian and international galleries selling out completely. 
• Much of the goodwill and high visibility it was able to generate was based on its success as a public event

• And the collector Frank Cohen has just opened the Passage to India show at his Wolverhampton gallery, Initial Access.

  But what's the appeal? Prajit Dutta, from the Aicon Gallery in London, thinks that “what is distinctive about Gupta and T. V. Santosh is that the imagery is of terrorism, immigration, cultural alienation - global issues that we all brush past every day in the media.”

• 印度当代艺术展：印度公路

• According to curators, India Xianzai will examine the “processes, narrative structures and aesthetic strategies that focus on the question of culture as an agency in artistic expression.”  A common thread of active political and social engagement runs throughout, as well as exploration of “Indian-ness” in various national, hemispheric and global contexts.  The exhibition also addresses cultural assimilation, a concern not just for India, but for every country in our increasingly smaller and flatter world.
• Several artists like including Riyas Komu, Suhasini Kejriwal and Schandra Singh created new works especially  for the exhibition.

• 總銷售額高達26億盧比的消息
• 為數不多的54家參展畫廊的平均銷售率達到了40-50%

• 值得一提的是，2009的主題國已經宣布為印度，鄭鍾孝認為這是提醒，正在崛起中的印度當代藝術，的確有其不可小覷的未來性和可能發展。

• 被拒绝的原因很简单，因为他曾经绘画了两个印度教的女神像，只是没给她们穿上衣服。这被视为是亵渎了印度教的宗教情感，甚至给他的人身安全带来了威胁，2006年，M.F. Husain甚至不得不为此而逃亡。
