Art India - February 2021

I denne utgaven

In the face of the technological revolutions of the last couple of centuries, the
contest between the natural world and the human world has progressively
intensified. The urban dystopia is the toxic location where the present has been
anchored for several years. How do we belong to these dangerous times, this
catastrophic age, as propagators and inheritors of crises that include the Global
Climate Change and the Coronavirus Pandemic?

Art India Magazine Description:

ART India is India's premier art magazine: over the last 25 years, it has been responsible for the promotion of a critical discourse around diverse art forms, activities and disciplines.

As an important forum for discussing, interrogating and appreciating art practices, ART India has been responsible for giving a platform to artists and critics to engage in a mutually replenishing intellectual dialogue with each other. This has led to the fostering of a vibrant atmosphere of sustained debate around crucial issues linked to the theory and practice of painting, sculpture, installation art, new media art, photography and architecture.

We have taken care to be multi-disciplinary in our approach as well as to dwell on diverse visual cultural issues of importance and urgency.

ART India has been launched successfully in Dubai, New York, London, Lahore, and Karachi, among other international venues.

ART India has a huge international following and has been chosen by Beaux Arts magazine, Paris, as one of the leading art magazines in the world.
