Vivan Sundaram: Re-take of Amrita
Sat Jan 18 2014 — Mon Jun 02 2014 at The Crow Collection
“As one of India’s premier artists, Vivan Sundaram brings his family legacy into contemporary times. Born in 1943 in Simla, Sundaram has had a long career, beginning with his formal training in painting at the Slade School in London. He works in a range of mediums, including painting, installation, assemblage, photography, digital media, and film. Activism has always been a strong component of his work and his life. He was instrumental in the establishment of Sahmat and the Kasauli Art Centre, organizations that brought together politically conscious artists, writers, activists, and thinkers in the 1970s and continue their efforts to the present day.”
