Inhabiting VAN GOGH

In the winter of 1884-85, Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh painted his first multi-figured, large-scale composition 'The Potato Eaters'-depicting the harsh reality of country life by capturing a peasant family sharing a meal. Van Gogh said he wanted to portray peasants who "have tilled the earth themselves, with the same hands they are putting in the dish... that they have thus honestly earned their food". At the time, the painting was criticised for its coarse style and the darkness of the figures. Since then, it has become one of his most famous works. Now, an exhibition-the Van Gogh 360° Immersive Art Experience-aims to animate the five peasants in the painting. They lift their mugs and nod at you-as though silently agreeing with something you just said. From a viewer, you have become a guest in his painting.

Plastic buckets and parliament seats

The plastics industry boomed in the 1970s when our rulers told our people to make fewer babies. The dairy industry, already on a high milkmark, should boom if Telugu Desam MP Kalisetti Appalanaidu gets people to make more babies. What’s the connection? Hold on. First listen to India’s population story that’s already a statistical farce, and may soon be a political tragedy.
