65 Indian artists will get together in Italy for a groundbreaking exhibition in November

The Hindu  

Sometimes art is the best catharsis. Curated by Myna Mukherjee and Davide Quadrio in collaboration with Turin’s annual contemporary art fair, Artissima, Hub India is backed by many players from the world of culture and art. Discussing the multi-part project, the curators outlined some of the main issues in a joint statement: “Crossing the cultural rubicon between modern and contemporary art, this curation rejects the colonial attitude of linear progress; rather, it uses tradition as a means of innovation, a continuous rebirth.” Their process included gathering works from a selection of several galleries and from the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art to put together a careful list that’s a little different from the usual set of names. According to Kiran Nadar, chairperson of KNMA, “Hub India showcases diverse strands of contemporary Indian art across generations, juxtaposing established and emerging practices for new and unfamiliar audiences in the Western world.” Calling it “an extraordinary effort,” Nadar says the show’s overriding aim is to present “the fertile, peculiar and unique terrain of contemporary India, unfolding under the themes, ‘Classical Radical’ and ‘Maximum Minimum’.” Incidentally, Hub India was originally initiated for Artissima to provide an overview of the art ecosystem in India, comprising galleries, institutions and artists. Featured in ‘Maximum Minimum,’ Bharti Kher and Tanya Goel are artists associated with Nature Morte, a contemporary art gallery in Delhi.
