  • Time : 6:30 pm
  • More Info : Neena Nehru - Artist, Peter Nagy - Nature Morte Gallery owner
  • Kavita Singh - Professor of art history, Gayatri Sinha - Curator and critic
  • Neena Nehru writes ”My early work was strongly inspired by Marxist ideas and social concerns; while I am no longer a Marxist, I still express my personal ideas and concerns through the medium of visual art.”
  • The subject of the discussion this evening will be a quote from “Marxism and Art - An introduction to Trotsky’s writings on art” by Alan Woods.
  • “The chief weakness of bourgeois aesthetics is that it rejects a priori the social influences that shape the development of art. Thus, the development of art is reduced to an essentially personal, i.e., psychological phenomenon…. In fact, the idea that somehow art can stand outside or above society is a self-evident contradiction. Although art, literature and music have their own laws of development which cannot be reduced to those of economics or sociology, they are also not separated from society by a Chinese Wall. Art is, after all, a form of communication…, Despite all the prejudices about the lonely artist communicating with himself, in practice, no artist paints a picture that he does not intend to be seen, and no writer writes a novel or poem just for their personal consumption. And in order for art or literature to act as communication, it must have something to say. Art links the particular to the universal. The characters of a novel must be concrete, they must bear a sufficient resemblance to real men and women to be believable. But this is not sufficient. In order that these characters be interesting to us, they must stand for something more than just themselves.”
  • Peter Nagy is an artist, curator and the director of Gallery Nature Morte in New Delhi, which was established in 1997. He is originally from New York and has been living in India since 1992.
  • Kavita Singh is Associate Professor of Art History at the School of Arts and Aesthetics at JNU. She has been Research Editor of the arts journal, Marg, and Guest Curator at the San Diego Museum of Art where she curated “Power and Desire”.
  • Gayatri Sinha is an independent curator and art critic an author of Expressions and Evocations – Contemporary Indian Women Artists and Krishen Khanna A Critical Biography. Her work as a curator includes work for the National Gallery of Modern Art. She is currently co curator for the exhibition of photographs at the Frankfurt Book fair. She has lectured widely on Indian art around the world. She writes a weekly column on visual culture and art for The Hindu.
  • Neena Nehru trained as an architect in London. She is a self taught artist and started painting seriously only after returning to India in 1974. She has been part of both solo and group shows and is preparing for her next exhibition which will be on a Feminist theme.

  • Event : The Scenic Eye - 29th October to 17th November, 2006
  • Time : 4.00 pm – 8.00 pm daily
  • Curator : Wolfgang Storch
  • Wolfgang Storch, born in 1943 in Berlin, is curator, dramaturg, director, writer and lecturer. He studied the dramatic arts, German literature and art history in Cologne, Vienna, Hamburg and Munich. The focus of his work is on the inter-relationship between the arts, particularly theatre and visual art, Greek and Germanic myths, exchanges in the Mediterranean region, Richard Wagner, Bertolt Brecht and Heiner Müller. Storch divides his time between Volterra, Italy, and Berlin.
  • Wolfgang Storch will be present at the opening to accompany visitors through the exhibition. He will also conduct workshops with students.
  • More Info : The starting point and thesis of the ifa exhibition The Scenic Eye is the new understanding of theatre and fine arts that has evolved since the 1960s. Modern fine arts have taken over theatrical forms and the increasing use of pictures and signs on stage have made speechless acting a new domain. Against this background the following question can be posed: how have the two forms of art perceived the development and how have they benefited from each other? Curator Wolfgang Storch asked nineteen male and female artists to enter into an imaginary dialogue with theatre as the medium. Their task was to reflect upon the interplay of direction, production, stage, actor, and audience. The result is works of art which apply their own artistic strategies—some free, some based on literary material—to theatre. The exhibition is a lively dialogue between two closely related art forms.
  • The installations, photographs, plates, and other objects have been created by the following artists:
  • Klaus vom Bruch, Carlfriedrich Claus, Hartwig Ebersbach, Jochen Gerz, Rainer Görss, Magdalena Jetelová, Hans Peter Kuhn, Raimund Kummer, Mark Lammert, Olaf Metzel, Hermann Pitz, Karlheinz Schäfer, Thomas Schütte, Katharina Sieverding, Rosemarie Trockel, Günther Uecker, Wolf Vostell, Ute Weiss-Leder, Qin Yufen
  • Place : Apeejay Media Gallery, Mathura Road, Badarpur
