The Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art (FICA)  presents the second edition of Homepage, the exhibition that brings together the various artists and researchers supported by FICA’s award and grant programmes. Homepage 2016 will include the solo exhibition of the FICA Emerging Artist Award 2014 recipient Sachin George Sebastian with a show titled Sites of Metamorphosis, and project displays by Indrani Baruah and Mrugen Rathod which were developed under the FICA Public Art Grant 2014 and 2015. Homepageis a marathon event of exhibitions and public programming with the main focus on making visible the year-long work that happens at FICA under its various grant programmes and collaborative platforms.

Other than the exhibitions Homepage 2016 will include a roster of events and workshops which are open to the public. This events section of the exhibition will focus on issues of art, craft and ecology, with a panel dedicated to issues around water, and a series of presentations around collaborative practices in arts and crafts. There will be two projects underway with FICA’s Art Educators Forum, the an intensive workshop for art educators with Dr. Sarada Natarajan, and a teacher training programme in collaboration with Childscapes project of PVR Nest.

Continuing our focus on young curators, given our ongoing collaboration on Students’ Biennale with Kochi Biennale Foundation, FICA will be hosting a public presentation and curation workshop with Polish curator Marta Smolinska. While her talk will focus on her curatorial practice, the workshop for young curators will address the issue of trans-regional dialogues and forms of curatorial writing.  There will also be a series of performance art workshops at various arts colleges in the country developed as part of FICA’s ongoing collaborative with Asia Art Archive and Students’ Biennale 2016.  

Special programmes for children will include an artist-led workshop with Sachin George Sebastian on paper cutting, other than the pre-registered ongoing art course led by Nilanjana Nandy. Additionally there will be walkthroughs of the exhibitions for the public and special groups. The complete schedule of the Homepage 2016 Events will be available by 15 July 2016 on the FICA website www.ficart.org
