Galleries in a Pandemic: Exhibitions Open to the Public A peek into exhibitions at art galleries which are opening for the public. The headlight partially fills up the dark with light, on a cold winter night – comes out the sun in the dreariness of volatility. And like a spotlight it highlights the walkers, tattlers and the veiled human race. The light then moves on to streets and halls and into crevices at dawn, lighting up slumbering quarters, confined stories and scarred corridors. As the new year brings in hope, a sense of weariness and carries on itself a past of monotony, worry and distrust, it gives way to starts and new openings. With several galleries moving to offline exhibits and shows, and slowly opening shows for public view, art takes the form of a visual antidote in a troubled world.
The Old Traditions, New Narratives exhibition will continue at South Asian Art Institute, Chicago, till February 28 Hasnat Mehmood. Cut Along the White Line. 2004 How would the painters whose work is part of the South Asian Art Institute’s exhibition, Old Traditions, New Narratives, interact if they were somehow gathered at one place? Would they be able to relate to one another, or recognise a common lineage? How would, for instance, the painter of Mughal miniature Sufi Seated with Ladies on a Terrace communicate with Mohammad Zeeshan, the maker of Dying Miniature Series; or Abdur Rahman Chughtai (of Standing Lady) converse with Saira Waseem, who created Identity?
A selection of Vadehra Art Gallery's books. In Europe and other parts of the world, funding and national endowments support art and cultural institutions and citizens themselves demand intellectual engagement as an essential element of public life. There is, in the same way, a compelling need for investment in the arts in India, where a lack of wider public engagement further contributes to its absence. Perhaps it doesn’t help that the art world is often considered a world turned in on itself – out of touch and out of reach. Historically, the art gallery became synonymous with the term “white cube”, suggesting a space in which time, through the objects on display, could transcend its momentary inflections for a genuine glimpse of eternity. But despite walls that seem to move each time you visit, the gallery is actually an ideological space that is rooted in place. Our art ecosystem very much exists in, and responds to, the world we live in, and it is our primary responsibility to frame a discursive context around how we manage artists and how their work is consumed.
