Venue : Twin Art Gallery, Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), 1, Central Vista (CV) Mess, Janpath, New Delhi-110001
Landmark : Opp. National Archives, adjoining India Gate Lawns
Event Description : The Alkazi Foundation for the Arts (New Delhi) in collaboration with the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (New Delhi) will be presenting "Drawn from Light: Early Photography and the Indian Sub-continent".
The Exhibition :
The exhibition showcases rare and iconic photographic samples emanating from the South Asian region contained in the Alkazi Collection. Remounted as a single show, it is based on two prior collaborative exhibitions of the Alkazi Foundation held in New York (Rubin Museum) and Brussels (Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium) in 2013-14 respectively, the latter forming an integral part of the Europalia India Arts Festival. Distinct sections created within the IGNCA’s Twin Art Gallery highlight varied aesthetics of representation- portraiture, landscapes and cityscapes - visual signposts that encompass prevalent tropes, mannerisms and motivations of image production from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. This moment marks not only a surge in photography’s patronage, circulation and reception but also reveals shifting visual and ideological strategies at play, focusing on early forays into photojournalism, documentary practices as well as pictorial or art-photography oriented productions.
The exhibition is curated by Rahaab Allana (Alkazi Foundation) in association with Beth Citron (Rubin Museum of Art) and Davy Depelchin (Royal Museums of Fine Arts).
