Concept Note India’s North-East is immensely diverse in many ways, and the prime source of local identity is derived from tribal affiliation, and ethno-linguistic factors. The region is known for a multitude of conflicts and the geopolitical problems having both internal and external context. Border areas have their own peculiarities and intricacies; often vulnerable to some issues like indigenous identity, sovereignty, and in recent years a huge influx of illegal infiltration of population. These add up the pressure on their social, economic and environmental resources. What does it mean when we talk about “territory” today? The term does not simply refer to a geographical or spatial area; it carries an extensive horizon including social and cultural belongings and encompasses the personal, psychological and mental sphere. The works in the exhibition reflect different approaches, lifestyles and ways of perceiving the unstable relationship within the borders. Some of the artists have explored the personal and observed narratives surrounding the struggles of flight, assimilation, threats of violence. The exhibition also incites and expects a conceptual reflection on the distances or barriers, integrated in the perceptual context of a border, a blockage in thinking, acceptance and/or understanding by means of political issues, (im)migration, globalization, climate change, gender, race, culture, terrorism, genocide, war, misogynist behavior, feelings of fear or superiority and so on. Today we live in the world of rapid development of mobility, the digitization of communication and knowledge, migration and an increasingly global economy; they all have radically changed people’s perception of territories, borders and boundaries. While some of the artists have also looked at the terms 'border' and 'terrain' as its literal meaning, using it as a form, building a story around them or considering them as metaphors in their works. The exhibition has been developed with an objective to bring forth the artistic interpretation of some of the issues of those specific terrains which somehow feel delineated from the rest. It is also an endeavour to focus on the contemporary art practices of North East India and providing them a platform to engage with a wider audience and to create an interesting dialogue to leave them with a thought to delve upon.

Dharmendra Prasad After MFA (Painting) from University of Hyderabad he returns to Assam in search for utopia. In the process he encounters ecology as library and harvest as philosophical ground for his practice. After having graduated from the S.N. School of Arts and Communications, University of Hyderabad he went to collaborate in the rural communities in Assam. His works involvethe participation of different occupational backgrounds, particularly farmers and artisans. Through multiple notions of landscapes, he addresses themes of ecology, history, material culture, water bodies, unscripted and occupational narratives, agrarian spaces and its countless conflicts in the context of global crisis. He participated in Pepper House Residency Exhibition, Kochi Muziris Biennale, 2018-19; PEERS Artists’ Residency at Khoj International Artist’s Association, New Delhi, 2018 and selected for Collection Bureau – a pollinator project, India art fair, New Delhi, 2018. He was part of the UKERI project exhibition, Wimbledon College of Arts, London, 2015. He is a founder member of Anga Art Collective (2010) based at Guwahati. He lives and works in Assam. Statement The work is an attempt to understand the fluidity and blockage in relation to life, cultural manifestation ecologies and the idea of nation and border. The work is a visual, textual and spatial collection of pages from the life which will hold the historical and everyday documentation of the memory of people in relation to migration, land, territory, violence, indigenous and non-indigenous notions. The work is woven out from the narrative, memories of the inhabitants in the conflict zones and distributed ecologies. The work aims to erase the sense of territory and try to build a counter narrative against borderlines through imagination and asserting the concept of non - place. With the application of objects, images, stories, from the life, the installation will germinate in the setting of gallery as a place of flux and conflict. We often identify and relate with the land through the ‘Address’ and ‘Naming’. The work conceives address as a concept which signifies the psychological condition of an individual rather than a marker of the landscape. In the context of globe as a fragile place and deterioration of sense of community, social harmony, and ecology it is very important to relate with the land not as a place but as a collection of ecological components and resource of knowledge manifestation to counter the abstract ideas like nation, border, and boundaries. The work speaks about series of imaginary and psychological realities in present socio- cultural context, it also talks about the non – place an imaginary landscape, and behaviourial landscape, a landscape of conflicts, fear and inaccessibility. It is a fluid and un- bordered site, a way of seeking for the space of in-betweens and celebrating it in the context of multiple polarities. 2.

    M r // VVt/ ffi*R~f~'r 7 f UNITED NATiIONS ||W NATIONS UNIES s. N.V. loot? REFERENCE: 1 July 1997 Dear Mr. Sanyal, I am writing, belatedly, in reply to your letter of 8 February to the Secretary- General, with which you enclosed a selection of audio cassettes of renderings of the work of Rabindranath Tagore. The Secretary-General has asked me to thank you for sending these to him. As you can imagine, he has been extremely busy in the first months after his assumption of office, but I have been able to listen to your tapes on his behalf. Permit me to say how'much I admire your enterprise and commend you on your initiative. Tagore was a giant of our century and your idea is most original. I note your interest in disseminating your efforts more widely. You may wish to bring the tapes to the attention of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (7 place de Fontenoy, 75352 Paris 07-SP, France). If I might take the liberty of one comment on the cassettes, I think it is rather unfortunate that the English reader cannot even pronounce the title "Gitanjali" correctly. This detracts from the otherwise positive impression made by your high production standards. I hope you will take this as a constructive comment from a well-wisher. With best wishes, Yours sincerely, Shashi Tharoor xecutive Assistant to the Secretary-General Mr. Alok Sanyal CD40, Sector 1 Salt Lake City Calcutta 700 064 INDIA M1BHH Alok Sanyal ph. D.

Painters, sculptors, printmakers, teachers, they have made a name for themselves, but in the absence of their work being shown nationally—rather than regionally, as has been the norm—many have remained outside mainstream discourse. At DAG, it has been our effort to ensure their rediscovery and recognition, something we continue to do with our Silver Series, fixed-price online sales. The outstanding success of the first two editions is an indicator that art-lovers also have an appreciation for lesser-known names, as well as those whose works do not appear frequently in the market. Our endeavour with every edition will be to continue to surprise you with the mix of artists and the quality of their work. I hope the additions in this edition will bring you joy. If you miss any favourites, I assure you that you will find them in subsequent editions.

  • Overcoming Polarized Modernities: Counter-Modern Art Education: Santiniketan
    Overcoming Polarized Modernities: Counter-Modern Art Education: Santiniketan, The Legacy of a Poet's School ABSTRACT Paul Gilroy identified counter cultures of modernity emerging in new-world African Diaspora communities in resistance, but not simply reactionary, to imperial modernity. This paper argues that Rabindranath Tagore’s Visva-Bharati University, founded in 1922 during the escalating struggle for Indian Independence, is similarly an example of counter-modernity. Tagore recognized that race, nationalism, materialism and an over- reliance on and abuse of science and technology, were central problems of European modernity’s notion of civilization and progress. In the new experiment in art education in Santiniketan Nandalal Bose and his fellow artist teachers incorporated an understanding of cultural distinctiveness, hybridity, selective disjunctures from, and continuities with, traditions into their pedagogy and art practice. The subtle persistence of modernist presumptions in postmodernity, make Tagore’s art education experiment, with its shortcomings, an important source of insight for overcoming imperial modernity’s subtle legacies. Art educators tend to focus on elementary and high school issues, yet a substantial portion of teacher training is in professional art classes. Art and teaching philosophies are intuitively learnt in the process. They are frequently tenacious and difficult to change, whether wrong or right. Yet they are not often the object of investigation by art educators, hence this essay. The model of university level art education developed in 1 Rabindranath Tagore’s Visva-Bharati University during the period 1919 – 1951 was in many ways unique for its time. That period coincides with Nandalal Bose’s tenure as Principal of Kala Bhavana (the Art Department), during which time the institution developed its aesthetic and pedagogy.
