LATIKA KATT -.::. Cymroza Art Gallery LATIKA KATT True artists are committed to passion for their calling and will perception of unity of life in the bunch of bananas and the not be distracted by compromises deemed inevitable for a homes of termites animated by her imagination. In Latika's cozy and smooth living. universe nothing is too insignificant for her keen eyes and dexterous hands. Latika Katt, from an elite institution like Doon School, known for producing successful bureaucrats and entrepreneurs, The journey continues and should we hope that the best is yet chose a path less trodden, a Woman Who Dared. In defiance to come. of all odds she decided to pursue her dream and what she believed was her true calling. In a less gender sensitive times, one could imagine the handicaps she had to overcome in an Syed Shahid Mahdi all male faculty of Banaras Hindu University and the Ex Vice Chancellor, Jamia Millia Islamia deprivations she had to contend with later in Baroda where short of money and material she created objects of beauty from the humble material of cow dung, much before it became a folkist fashion. Once she said: equality was all she was fighting for. What she calls equality I would call Justice and her struggle continues. I came to know her as a colleague in the Department of Fine Arts when I was Vice Chancellor of Jamia Millia Islamia. It was a most difficult time of her life. One evening her husband Balbir Katt went missing and she was desperately searching for him. His disappearance is still a mystery. The manner in which she faced the situation is a saga of courage and fortitude. It could have shattered a lesser person, but she continued with her duties to her students and produced many remarkable works despite the hostile surrounding and the institutional constraints. It is for art critics to comment on her oeuvre and asses her place among her contemporaries. But even a lay person likes me can see she has trodden paths less taken. The Rodin like ruggedness and energy in her colossal Nehru for Jawahar Bhavan, New Delhi and the work in progress Indira Gandhi is a testimony to her command over the medium and her technical prowess. Banaras, which happens to be in the region I belong to, the city of her adoption, is reflected in her work in forms and themes hardly ever attempted by any sculptor.

Arpana's introduction to paintings cam via sculpture after her tutelage under B.K. Gura. In the main, however, she is a self taught artist. She had a scholarship for advanced course in painting in St. Martius College of Art London 1979 but chose to return after a month as she missed her home & India. Her earliest exhibited paintings of 1974, of heavy muscular and rogynous women, are in a sombre palette. From the outset, she located her figures in the Punjabi milieu adopted by Amrita Sher Gil of women with their veils and thick khadi salwar-kameez texture on which the "Phulkaries" of Punjab could be embroidered. However Sher Gil's havelis and open spaces become congestive city pavements darkened corners, and Sher-Girl's melancholic figures of the "other" Indian appropriated by Arpana Caur as the tragic self. The relative isolation of the small urban family and the complexity of Arpana's own situation , of a fraught childhood with separated parents is seen in early paintings of her mother, her grandfather, and herself of the family selectively severed and then rejoined.

    WOMEN WHO DARED Edited by Ritu Menon (Published by the National Book Trust, New Delhi India, Price Rs 75 only) Ammanige (To My Mother) SA USHA Mother, don’t, please don’t Don’t cut off the sunlight With your sari spread across the sky Blanching life’s green leaves Don’t say: you’re seventeen already Don’t flash your sari in the street Don’t make eyes at passers-by Don’t be a tomboy riding the winds Don’t play that tune again That your mother, Her mother and her mother Had played on the snake-charmer’s flute Into the ears of nitwits like me I am just spreading my hood I’ll sink my fangs into someone And leave my venom. Let go, make way. Circumambulating the holy plant In the yard, making rangoli designs To see heaven, turning up dead Without light and air. For God’s sake, I can’t do it. Breaking out of the dam You’ve built, swelling In a thunderstorm Roaring through the land, Let me live very differently From you, mother. Let go, make way. (Tr. A. K. Ramanujan) Introduction For at least a century and a half now, the presence of women in the social and public life of India has been noted, even if they have only been intermittently and sporadically visible, and insufficiently acknowledged. Most people, when asked, will recall women’s participation in the freedom struggle, their mobilisation by the thousands in Gandhiji’s campaigns against the British, in the salt satyagraha, and in the civil disobedience and non-cooperation movements.

  • In Transition: Artworks Between the Archive and the Exhibition Hall at the NGMA by Arnika Ahldag
    In transition: Artworks between the archive and the exhibition hall at the NGMA by Arnika Ahldag This dissertation was submitted to Jawaharlal Nehru University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Master of Philosophy in July 2015. Prof. Kavita Singh supervised my research and writing. SCHOOL OF ARTS AND AESTHETICS JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY NEW DELHI-110067 INDIA 2015 II Abstract In this M.Phil. dissertation I raise questions concerning the mobility of artworks between the archive and the exhibition hall. The collection of the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi has a vast collection of 17.000 works, I am reflecting on how the works entered the collection, the philosophy of successive directors who gave it shape, and the ways in which the collection have been shared with the public through exhibitions. The NGMA initiated several exhibitions in the past to show their archival objects to the public, starting in 1994 with Geeta Kapur’s exhibition “Hundred Years”. Immediately after the opening of the exhibition, a controversy broke out about inclusion and exclusion of works. Later in the 2000s, exhibitions curated by the contemporary Director Rajeev Lochan pursued the same objective. I will analyse and compare their curatorial enterprises based on the archival material.
