Cecille R. Hunt Gallery: 19 March 2010
The Hunt Gallery at Webster University will mount an important exhibition of contemporary Indian Art with an opening reception on Friday, March 19, 2010 from 69 PM at 8342 Big Bend Blvd. Bring Me A Lion, the first exhibition in St. Louis to focus on contemporary Indian art, will remain on view through April 17, 2010.
The exhibition will include works by 10 emerging and internationally renowned artists from India and the U.S, including Jaishri Abichandani, Dhruvi Acharya, Rina Banerjee, Chitra Ganesh, Tushar Joag, Jitish Kallat, Reena Saini Kallat, Bari Kumar, Yamini Nayar and Rakhi Peswani. Several artists will be in attendance at the opening on March 19.
Bring Me A Lion contemplates the competing forces of tradition and modernity, indigence and diasporas, village economies and international capitalism as primary discourses in contemporary Indian culture. The exhibition investigates some of these multiple dualities mirrored in the recent art of India and is the first in the St. Louis region to examine the highly significant aspect of global culture. The exhibition is curated by Jeffrey Hughes and Dana Turkovic.
