  • Nerve Studio Residency.Indd 2 28/06/13 10:52 PM
    nerve trend Residencies have been part of most vocations – and art is one of them. India has recognised its scope only recently, offering an optimistic platform for many Sleeping With Your Art hen you drive past the long stretch of shanties on Wadibunder Road, WMumbai, you begin to wonder if the essence of art really does linger close by. Your GPS beeps just then, instructing you to take a left turn into a big iron gate. A watchman unquestioningly lets you in as you hoot an impatient honk. Yet, your doubt persists because heavy labour and heavy machinery is all you see around you. It seems like people know the purpose of your visit. A man waves at you to take a turn at the end of the sprawling compound. And just as you do, Space 118 comes into view. In front of you are three occupied studios and to your left stands a cosy-looking cottage of sorts under a brick roof. This is Saloni Doshi’s office. It is cluttered with small sized sculptures and a neat stack of paintings against its walls. With an enthusiastic interest in art’s offerings, this thirty something collector revamped part of an industrial space for the purpose of studio residencies for artists – budding and bloomed. Like most spaces in 2009, it was inaugurated with the intention of focussing on artists with limited exposure to the creative realm’s ecosystem. Graduates and those from smaller towns deem it an honour to be accepted for a residency. Sometimes they need to pay a fee, and at other times it’s a barter of one of their creations.

    Phaneendra Nath Chaturvedi [email protected] +91 98109 47249 Phaneendra Nath Chaturvedi unapologetically unmasks the men and women he draws in his large-format works to reveal the grotesque, robotic creatures he believes they really are. Skeletal forms in colorful shirts and dresses populate his multi-piece works on paper, some plugged into an electrical outlet, others held down with barbed wire and nuts and bolts. These anthropomorphic beings focus attention on the artificiality of beautiful appearances and the corruption that he believes has found its way into every aspect of contemporary human existence and interaction. Describing himself as a painter true to his ideology and perception, Phaneendra accepts that his work is provocative, stark and ‘brutally honest’ Phaneendra Nath Chaturvedi did his M. F. A. in painting from College of Arts & Crafts, Faculty of Fine Arts, and University of Lucknow. He worked on the research grant of Lalit Kala Akademi New Delhi and awarded National Scholarship for Young Artist, Ministry of Culture, Govt. of India. He was a visiting faculty at Lucknow College of Architecture, Lucknow. He has received 5 awards including best exhibit award of AIFACS, New Delhi. Phaneendra has participated in almost all major all India exhibitions including national exhibition of Lalit Kala Akademi for last one decade. He has held first solo exhibition at U.P.State Lalit Kala Akademi, Lucknow in 2003. The one being at The Mint, New Delhi 2007 and artist of the month (January) at Saffronart, www.saffronart.com 2008 too, most recent at Karin Weber Gallery, Hong Kong 2012. His works have been exhibited in number of group shows such as Asian Young Artist held at Keumsan Art Gallery, Heyri Art Valley, Korea and Hybrid Trend, contemporary art exhibition at Hangaram Art Museum, Seoul Art Center, Seoul, Korea and most recent is “Ode To Monumental”, at the Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi and Jahagir Art Gallery, Mumbai.

  • Mapping the Field of Indian Art Criticism: Post‐Independence Progress Report, April 2010
    AAA Research Grant 2009‐10 Vidya Shivadas Mapping the field of Indian art criticism: Post‐independence Progress Report, April 2010 The Background/Rationale behind the Project Most of my research to date has been on art institutions and museums and how they frame art practice and grapple with discourses on modernism, tradition, nation and identity. But this is a scantily documented field in the Indian context and one has to contend constantly with the lack of information and access to material. It was while researching the National Museum in 2006, for the Getty‐funded Museology and the Colony project, that I had a personal breakthrough. I realized that by closely examining the Journal of Indian Museums1 I would get good leads on the National Museum’s role and mandate, and how this evolved over the years. This was not only in terms of the journal being a repository of information on the museum but in looking at the questions and debates current in the museum world and how these influenced institutional policies. Looking at the post‐independence cultural institutions I realized the need to change strategy and scrutinize the dialectical relationship between institutional spaces and critical discourse that was being produced via art writing. This shift towards mapping art writing in the Indian post‐colonial context is, to follow from Tapati Guha‐Thakurtha2, an examination of how the object field comes to be constituted in text and how this, in turn, affects exhibition and museum practices. In 2009 while working on an essay on the National Gallery of Modern Art, I found a photograph in the 1951 issue of the bi‐monthly bulletin Art News, published by the artist‐led organization, the All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society (AIFACS)3.
