Chalo! India: A New Era of Indian Art
22. November 2008 until 15. March 2009

Mori Art Museum Tokyo, Japan

“Chalo” is Hindi for "Let's go." With the words "Chalo! India" (Let's go! India), we invite you to discover an explosion of creativity and vitality in Indian contemporary art. "Chalo! India" will take you on a journey through more than 100 works by 27 artists and artist groups from all over India. Encompassing a broad range of media, including painting, sculpture, photography and installation, this exhibition examines the latest movements in Indian contemporary art.

Following independence from Britain in 1947, Indian artists began exploring new forms of artistic expressions—drawing inspiration and ideas from Western modernism, and India's own distinctive culture. Over the next 60 years, new types of work that powerfully embodied political and social critiques emerged. More recently, Indian artists have been making works that respond to urbanization and changing contemporary lifestyles—art that reflects the rapid economic development, and globalization that has taken hold since the 1990s. Today the lively Indian art scene is spreading its wings both at home and abroad, and has been attracting a great deal of international attention.

"Chalo! India" is a significant survey of new Indian art, including a sociological research project involving architects and intellectuals, and state of the art interactive media work—as befits an IT giant such as India. Most people see India in terms of its rich and influential history, its Gods and devotion, Bollywood movies, or its awakening as an economic giant. However, there is so much more to the complex and dynamic India of today. “Chalo! India” explores and celebrates the depth of this country; the contradictions of its society, the dreams and hopes of its people, and its energy and passion toward the future.

13. September 2008 until 30. November 2008
Yokohama, Japan

The Yokohama Triennale series of international exhibitions of contemporary art, first held in 2001, will make its third exhibition in 2008. Based on the comprehensive exhibition theme set by the artistic director, a diverse range of artworks—including videos, installations, photography, painting, and sculpture—by about 60 to 70 selected artists from many countries will be put on display.

While showcasing newly-released artworks of the cutting-edge contemporary art around the globe, the Triennale will also feature many site-specific works highlighting the distinctive charms of the host city so that it will unfold the large extravaganza of art. Vigorous supplementary events will be conducted during the exhibition period, including symposiums to flesh out the Triennale concept and the workshops and gallery talks to enhance the dialogue among the artists, participants, and the visitors. The Triennale will also seek to establish and strengthen ties with art organizations and other international exhibition secretariats in Japan and abroad.

Alumnus Charlie Roberts in a two-person exhibition at Rutgers University

Mason Gross Galleries Civic Square Building

NOVEMBER 6TH - NOVEMBER 14TH

RECEPTION THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH, 5PM - 7PM
Awards Ceremony for BFA / BA Students

Project Space Artists Aaron Hraba and Charlie Roberts will juror the 2008 BFA / BA ART OPEN

Aaron Hraba's photographs and videos make him one of the best Radical storytellers of his time. Through visits with his buddies from the early punk scene and family visits in Nebraska, Aaron absorbs his audience into an autobiographical world of internal social conflicts that the viewer cannot avoid.

Charlie Roberts' performance videos are silent testimonies that question what it means to be one with yourself. Through a series of videos, his figure as a multitude of gestures embrace, erase and suffocate the physical human existence; slipping in and out of life.

Alumnus Nikhil Chopra Exhibition in New York

Nikhil Chopra (MFA, Painting &Drawing, 2003) showed at the Thomas Erben Gallery (http://www.thomaserben.com/) 526 West 26th Street, 4th Floor, Chelsea from June 27 - July 10, 2008.

Performance based artist Nikhil Chopra is today recognized as one of the most important voices in contemporary Indian art. His practice, which involves inhabiting characters that evolve over a number of performances, enable the artist to draw audiences into a conversation which is as much about the overt narrative of the piece as it is a way of dealing with multiple art histories. The multi-layered nature of the performances lead into photographic and video based work released subsequent to the performances themselves. In the present show there will be both photographs and video work installed at the gallery in addition to which Nikhil will be performing on Sunday 29th June. Having studied in Baroda, India as well as the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, Nikhil returns to New York (a city he has previously lived in) on the back of a December performance in Mumbai hailed by many as the most interesting art project seen in the city for many years.
