In retrospect
What: Focussing on the history of exhibitions of the last 10 years, Kiran Nadar Museum of Art has made accessible to a global audience some of the early exhibitions, by revisiting and retro-fitting it for a virtual experience. Titled ‘Visions of Interiority’ by Rameshwar Broota, the project refrains from becoming a simple walkthrough of the past exhibition. Instead it interweaves fresh juxtapositions of visuals, insertions of texts and an abbreviated narrative that hints at various encounters of the human body vis-a-vis natural and urban industrial environments. KNMA felt it pertinent to re-present the retrospective of Rameshwar Broota, ‘that would bring to the global /digital/virtual audiences, the overbearing emphasis in Broota on the human body and its predicament. One can watch Broota’s early experimental films, zoom in and get a closer look at his iconic paintings in the Viewing Room and hear the artist speak about his technique on the official website of KNMA.
Talking global
What: Themed #BeTheRevival, the India Global Week 2020 will be organised over the course of three days.
