"Excerpts from Diary Pages" Exhibition
Talwar Gallery
This event has ended.
Talwar Gallery presents Excerpts from Diary Pages, an exhibition representing a significant collection of “diaries” of seven artists, spanning three generations in Indian contemporary art for the first time.
Diaries as records with discrete entries, notations, inner explorations and ideas provide an intimate insight to artists’ journeys, those completed as well as unrealized. Extracted from this self-reflective documentation and by extension, the process of art making itself, is a deliberate selection of entries employing a variety of media that translates their individual concerns with regards to the self, history, knowledge, and the environment.
Traversing three generations of artists who have essentially retained a 'diary' has been a strategic facet in the curatorial component of the show. Where the first generation of artists employs the diary in its written form, to the second exploring their search to extract purpose and significance based on their own histories, religion, culture, and consciousness to the third that draws and retains - on paper, in photo, on film, a conscious step toward an unknown destination.
