The Annual Erasing Borders Exhibition of Contemporary Indian Art of the Diaspora 2018 Mission Statement THE ANNUAL ERASING BORDERS EXHIBITION OF CONTEMPORARY INDIAN ART OF THE DIASPORA 2018 MISSION STATEMENT The Indo-American Arts Council is a registered 501(c)3 not-for-profit, secular service and resource arts organization charged with the mission of promoting and building the awareness, creation, production, exhibition, publication and performance of Indian and cross-cultural art forms in North America. The IAAC's focus is to work with artists in North America as well as to facilitate artists from India to exhibit, perform and produce their work in the United States. This exhibition will promote and exhibit the work of artists from the Indian-American community. The exhibition will tour the NYC boroughs, the greater NYC area, the Tri-State area and other parts of Eastern United States The IAAC supports all artistic disciplines in the classical, fusion, folk and innovative forms influenced by the arts of India. We work cooperatively with colleagues around the United States to broaden our collective audiences and to create a network for shared information, resources and funding. Our focus is to work with artists and arts organizations in North America as well as to facilitate artists and arts organizations from India to exhibit, perform and produce their works here. IAAC GOALS & OBJECTIVES Bivas Chaudhuri ✧ Build an awareness of Indian artistic disciplines in North America ✧ Raise enough money to be able to sponsor artist's activities ✧ Function as a central clearing-house for funds for artistic disciplines ✧ Present artistic events in the disciplines ✧ Have regular outreach programs to schools and colleges ✧ Encourage young artists to present their work ✧ Foster an exchange of artists and arts related information between India and the United States. ERASING BORDERS EXHIBITION OF CONTEMPORARY INDIAN ART OF THE DIASPORA 2018 ✧ The exhibition, Erasing Borders: Exhibition of Contemporary Indian Art of the Diaspora explores the contributions of artists whose origins can be traced to the Indian Subcontinent. This will be IAAC's 13th annual Erasing Borders exhibition. ✧ The first, 2004 Erasing Borders Exhibition, curated by Sundaram Tagore, focused solely on artists of the Indian Diaspora. Due to its enormous success, the IAAC decided to schedule annual exhibitions of contemporary Indian art. Since then, the annual IAAC Erasing Borders Exhibition of Contemporary Indian Art has been curated by Vijay Kumar ✧ Many Indian artists went abroad after India's independence from British rule. These artists grappled with dual aesthetic concerns (modernity versus tradition), and with the complex issue of identity. Diaspora artists had to create an authentic artistic language possessing Indian aesthetic components in order to be taken seriously by critics, as well as to reconcile issues associated with being minorities. Today's diaspora artists are scattered across the country and are more socio-economically and religiously diverse than their predecessors. These artists are working to make themselves heard in an art world that is at once more competitive and more receptive to non-Western art than ever before THE EXHIBITION The Indo-American Arts Council’s 13th Annual Erasing Borders Exhibition of Contemporary Indian art of the Diaspora! will feature work by 28 artists whose origins can be traced to the Indian subcontinent. This group of multinational and intergenerational artists, chosen by Vijay Kumar, reflects a broad range of life experiences and aesthetic values. The artists interpret diverse subject matter—figurative, abstract and conceptual in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, video, sculpture and installation. The resulting works often meld Indian and Western ideas about color, form and subject. Twenty million people of Indian origin shifted countries in the 20th and 21st centuries. Implicit in the term Diaspora are the concepts of change and adaptation. Cultural dislocation can produce unexpected and powerful results. Subject matter is often drawn from the country of origin, while many of the artistic decisions and political concerns come from the artists’ newfound situations. This exhibition seeks to transcend the borders that confine and control preconceived definitions of Indian and Western art.

  • Sarod & Scheherazade
    NOTES ON THE PROGRAM BY LAURIE SHULMAN, ©2019 Sarod & Scheherazade ONE-MINUTE NOTES Amjad Ali Khan: Samaagam: A Concerto for Sarod, Concertante Group and String Orchestra Amjad Ali Kahn’s concerto fuses Northern Indian traditional instruments with a Western orchestra. Samaagam is Sanskrit for “flowing together,” an apt metaphor for Khan’s compelling concerto. He draws heavily on nearly a dozen ragas, the melodic building blocks of India’s classical music. Listen for drones and improvisatory passages that are cousins to jazz solos. Sarod, tabla and the NJSO’s principal string players all have their opportunity for exercising spontaneous musical creativity. Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade Scheherazade features an obbligato role for our excellent concertmaster, Eric Wyrick. His recurring solo violin line represents the spellbinding voice of the Sultana as she relates the 1001 tales of the Arabian Nights, thereby staving off death by entertaining her husband. Scheherazade’s music is sinuous and seductive. The sultan’s theme, in the brasses, is barbaric, forceful and masculine. The writing is enchanting—a perfect blend of exoticism and impeccable orchestration. AMJAD ALI KHAN: Samagaam: A Concerto for Sarod, Concertante Group and String Orchestra AMJAD ALI KHAN Born: October 9, 1945, in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India Composed: 2008 World Premiere: June 20, 2008, in Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, Scotland NJSO Premiere: These are the NJSO-premiere performances. Duration: 45 minutes Amjad Ali Khan is arguably the most celebrated Indian classical musician since Ravi Shankar. His instrument, the sarod, is a cousin of the sitar. Both are members of the lute family: plucked string instruments with a hollow body.
