FICA Travancore Exhibition Paintings Sculptures
  • Time : 11:00 am - 7:00 pm
  • Event Details : Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art is delighted to present “Urgent: 10ml of Contemporary needed!” a group show featuring ten emerging artists from across India. Chosen by the FICA Emerging Artist Award 2007 jury members Atul Dodiya, Subodh Gupta, N.S.Harsha, Shilpa Gupta, Annapurna Garimella and Anshuman Dasgupta these artists articulate the most exciting emerging trends in contemporary Indian art.
  • The exhibition will feature Abhishek Hazra, Baptist Coelho, Chinmoy Pramanick, Dilip Chobisa, Lavanya Mani, Rajesh Ram, Reji Arackal, Sakshi Gupta, Sisir Thapa, and Ved Prakash Gupta.
  • 10ml of Contemporary presents ten individual artists, who represent the heterogeneity and paradox within emerging art practices in India. What binds together these young artists is their urgency to respond to the contemporary climate, and to mediate crucial debates. Using historical, textual, spatial and psychological reference points they explore the multi-loci-ed contemporary. The energy that develops here is through the tension, the conflicts and contradictions, within and between their works. They are the small-but-vital 10ml; components that are the essential impetus for change.
  • This exhibition is a major milestone foe FICA, which has in its last year and half dedicated itself to programming around contemporary art, in supporting young artists and art writers, and promoting public art projects. This year will see many important events from FICA; including the solo exhibitions of the two winners of the last year FICA Emerging Artist Award and the start of a new public art project. The winner of the Research Fellowship will also be presenting the work soon. The warming up is done and we are looking forward to a long and steady run.
