The Indian art market, and the creative output of Indians both at home and abroad, is experiencing a meteoric rise; however, any quick Google search will reveal a serious lack of comprehensive information regarding current topics, trends, and histories apparent to contemporary Indian visual culture.
I am a man obsessed with everything Indian, and I have been back in the United States for 7 months and cannot wait wait wait to return. But as I sit in the library and type this I am reminded by the relative dearth of information. I think the output, and creative innovation, from India is truly amazing, but it has received little scholarly attention (when put in comparison to Chinese contemporary visual culture) and I am hoping to start filling in those holes.
I am no scholar (far the fuck from that) but I am so excited about things being done in India. This blog is more of a journal of sorts organizing my own thoughts regarding art in general and hopefully I will stick with it yaar. This, I guess, will document my own process of discovery as I sort through all the things I see and read. And who knows maybe other people will start doing the same thing
Here are some people doing some cool stuff
