This book will present a richly informative and analytical account of the work of the artist Shipla Gupta, her ideas and projects, and the global political contexts in which she situates them. The most significant feature of her new media works - which deal with themes such as body piracy, the politics of the sacred, securitization and surveillance - is that they are universally readable, which makes them accessible and relevant to both local and international audiences. And yet Gupta's works retain a reserve of ambivalence, secrecy and dynamic paradox. Edited by the Bombay-based cultural theorist, art critic and independent curator Nancy Adajania, this book will carry essays by contributors of international eminence such as Peter Weibel, the director of ZKM, Karlsruhe; Quddus Mirza, art critic, artist and curator from Pakistan. AUTHOR: Nancy Adajania is a cultural theorist, art critic and independent curator. ILLUSTRATIONS 200 colour images *

Chalo means "Let's go!" in Hindi and the enthusiasm of that expression is evident throughout the pages of this catalogue for an exhibition at the Essl Museum in Austria. Encompassing a broad range of media, including painting, sculpture, photography, and installation, the book features more than one hundred works by artists and collectives from all over India. Themes of identity, urbanization, spirituality, and politics reflect the country's recent transformation into a global power. Accompanying the reproductions are essays that explore the impact of the economic and cultural revolution on India and focus on the modern art of specific geographic regions throughout the country. Looking beyond the popular Bollywood-influenced images of twenty-first-century India, this important volume reveals the complex artistic practices taking place throughout the country.
The exhibition My East is Your West, was a collateral event of the 56th Venice Biennale. It was commissioned by The Gujral Foundation. It united for the first time, at the Biennale, the historically conflicting nations of India and Pakistan in a space shared by artists from both countries. Shilpa Gupta (Mumbai) and Rashid Rana (Lahore) presented a new series of works at the Palazzo Benzon, situated in the centre of Venice on the Grand Canal. This presentation provided a unique platform for artists from South Asia to enter into a dialogue through the arts, representing the Indian subcontinent as one region.
