International Print Biennale, India
Arts Illustrated|June - July 2018

MARCH 26 TO APRIL 22, 2018, NEW DELHI

Subhra Mazumdar
International Print Biennale, India

A landmark happening in Indian art, as also a pioneering venture of the Lalit Kala Akademi, the first International Print Biennale, 2018, ended after a month-long exhibition in the last week of April. The mega event with its ambitious layout was made viewer friendly by its astute categorisation of the exhibits into four major segments. While an open competitive section formed the bulk of the display, and consisted of the selected entries from among the many works that had been sent in for display, the ‘Pioneer’ section of the display consisted of the iconic works of Indian masters whose names are legendary in their chosen fields. The ‘Invitee’ segment evoked much discussion among practising artists as it comprised the works of the well-known practitioners of our times. And, finally, the international segment with 17 nations including exhibits from Poland, Lithuania, the United States and the United Kingdom.
