The Kolkata-based CIMA (Center of International Modern Art) is celebrating 30 years of operations with a series of exhibitions that started on December 22 and shall continue over the next six months, until May 25. This first part of the celebrations, an exhibition called 12 Masters, is currently up at CIMA, Kolkata. The final leg involves a 30th-anniversary special show called Fantastic Realities and Beyond Exhibition, which travels to Delhi’s Visual Arts Gallery in February before being seen at CIMA, Kolkata, in April.
12 Masters is a successor in spirit to Visions, a project that Rakhi Sarkar, director of the CIMA gallery, put together towards the beginning of her career, in 1986. The first phase (‘From Fantasy to Subliminal’) includes works by four artists—Arpita Singh, Ganesh Pyne, Shreyasi Chatterjee and Sushen Ghosh. In the next phases, works by Jogen Chowdhury, Meera Mukherjee, Sanat Kar, Lalu Prasad Shaw et al will be displayed.
