It is the middle of monsoons, the whether is sultry, and the art scene has once again started to pick up momentum. Here's opening Art & Deal's International Special edition of August 2018! Our London correspondent Rajesh Punj interviews Parisian artist Jean-Michael Othoniel who discusses his stunning glass architectural sculptures, designs and and public art. Art Historian and Curator Amit Mukhopadhyay's essay ‘Land: Origin of Shame and Sorrow’ is a blazing depiction of the global political scenario during the 2nd World War. The issue also features an insightful report by Franck Barthelemy about Sudarshan Shetty’s video work ‘Shoonya Ghar’ from the 48th Art Basel; a profile about Japanese Porcelain artist Yuji Obata; an interview of young New York based artist, sculptor and performance artist Jennifer Sullivan; and Rahul Bhattacharya’s ‘Rise of The Curatorial’, the first in a two part series commenting on the notion of curation; along with reviews by Mansi Dhiman Mandhwani and Dhiraj Singh.
