  • Ranjit Hoskote: Signposting the Indian Highway Ranjit Hoskote
    HERNING MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART Ranjit Hoskote: Signposting the Indian Highway Ranjit Hoskote You Can’t Drive Down the Same Highway Twice… …as Ed Ruscha might have said to Heraclitus. But to begin this story properly: two artists, two highways, two time horizons a decade apart in India. Atul Dodiya’s memorable painting, ‘Highway: For Mansur’, was first shown at his 1999Vadehra Art Gallery solo exhibition in New Delhi. The painting is dominated by a pair of vultures, a quotation culled from the folios of the Mughal artist Mansur; the birds look down on a highway that cuts diagonally across a desert. The decisiveness of this symbol of progress is negated by a broken-down car that stands right in the middle of it. The sun beats down on the marooned driver, whose ineffectual attempts at repairing his vehicle are viewed with interest by the predators. In the lower half of the frame, Dodiya inserts an enclosure in which a painter, identifiably the irrepressible satirist and gay artist Bhupen Khakhar, bends over his work. Veined with melancholia as well as quixotic humour, this painting prompts several interpretations. Does the car symbolise the fate of painting as an artistic choice, at a time when new media possibilities were opening up; is the car shorthand for the project of modernism? Or is this an elegy for the beat-up postcolonial nation-state, becalmed in the dunes of globalisation? In an admittedly summary reading, ‘Highway: For Mansur’ could be viewed as an allegory embodying a dilemma that has immobilised the artist, even as he contemplates flamboyant encounters with history in the confines of his studio.

The interview took place in Berkeley, California, and was conducted by Moira Roth for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. This interview has been extensively edited for clarification by the artist, resulting in a document that departs significantly from the tape recording, but that results in a far more usable document than the original transcript. —Ed.

Wasco is a farming community near Bakersfield in the San Joaquin Valley. There were about six thousand people in town. I was born in 1945 at the close of the war.

    Art in the Asia-Pacifi c As social, locative, and mobile media render the intimate public and the public intimate, this volume interrogates how this phenomenon impacts art practice and politics. Contributors bring together the worlds of art and media culture to rethink their intersections in light of participatory social media. By focusing upon the Asia-Pacifi c region, they seek to examine how regionalism and locality affect global circuits of culture. The book also offers a set of theoretical frameworks and methodological paradigms for thinking about contemporary art practice more generally.

  • Martha Wilson I Have Become My Own Worst Fear
    535 W. 22nd Street, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10011 Tel: 212-647-1044 [email protected] www.ppowgallery.com Martha Wilson I have become my own worst fear September 9 – October 8, 2011 Opening Reception: Friday, September 9, 6-8pm is proud to present new work by Martha Wilson in her first solo exhibition since joining the gallery in May, 2011. The works in the exhibition are embedded in the ideas which have concerned the artist for four decades. A new work, I have become my own worst fear, consists of a photo/text image, to be shown with a videotape made by the artist in 1974. Works on view will consist of nine new photo/text works created since 2008, and two early photo/text works, Alchemy, from 1973 and My Authentic Self from 1974. New York Times critic Holland Cotter, in reviewing a 2008 exhibition of Martha Wilson’s early work, described her as one of “the half-dozen most important people for art in downtown Manhattan in the 1970s.” In Moira Roth’s introduction to the Martha Wilson Sourcebook: 40 Years of Reconsidering Performance, Feminism, Alternative Spaces, being published this fall by Independent Curators International, he adds: “Wilson is a wonderful artist, whose smart and witty 1970s photographic self-portraits in various ‘feminine’ guises— passive beauty, punk upstart—helped very early on (way before Cindy Sherman) to demonstrate that the gendered roles we play are largely invented for us. It's the artist's job to take charge of that invention so that we see it in action, which Wilson did in those amazing and still-under known pictures.” Martha Wilson is Founding Director of Franklin Furnace Archive, Inc., an alternative space she established in her TriBeCa storefront loft in lower Manhattan which, since its inception in 1976, has presented and preserved temporal art: artists’ books and other multiples produced internationally after 1960; temporary installations; and performance art.

  • State of Mind: New California Art Circa 1970 from Acclaimed “Pacific Standard Time” Exhibition Series Comes to the Bronx Museum of the Arts
    State of Mind: New California Art circa 1970 from Acclaimed “Pacific Standard Time” Exhibition Series Comes to The Bronx Museum of the Arts Museum is Only East Coast Venue to Present Exhibition Illustrating Broad Impact “California Conceptualism” Continues to Have on Contemporary Art Bronx, NY, April 11, 2013 – This June, The Bronx Museum of the Arts will become the only East Coast venue to present State of Mind: New California Art circa 1970, an exhibition which explores the emergence of conceptual art in California in the 1960s and 70s. The exhibition was developed as part of the Getty Foundation’s collaborative exhibition series, “Pacific Standard Time,” and will feature 150 works by 60 artists in a range of media. Each of the artists featured in the exhibition—including Chris Burden, Lynn Hershman, Linda Mary Montano, Martha Rosler, Allen Ruppersberg, and Ed Ruscha—played a seminal role in the emergence of “California Conceptualism.” Marked by its radical forms and ideas, the new art movement permeated the country in the 60s and 70s and has continued to influence artists since its inception. Works in the exhibition exemplify the unrestricted style of the era, when art was produced for alternative audiences and outside of artists’ studios—in the streets, at artist-run galleries, and in other non-traditional spaces. State of Mind features video, film, photography, installation, artist's books, drawings, and extensive performance documentation and ephemera. The exhibition’s tour is organized by Independent Curators International (ICI) and will be on view at The Bronx Museum from June 22 – September 8, 2013.
