New Narratives: Contemporary Art from India is the first exhibition in the U.S. to feature artwork of the 21st century created in India, with many works coming straight from the studios of artists in various cities of the subcontinent. Twenty-one artists and 60 works of art are represented in this extensive exhibition of paintings, photographs, sculptures, installations, and works in video and new media. Visitors will leave the show with a new level of understanding and renewed interest in India, one of the oldest yet most rapidly changing cultures on earth and an exciting place between East and West where new art in all media is being produced today. Guest curator, Betty Seid of Chicago, has traveled extensively in India and specialized in Indian art, both ancient and contemporary, and new media works were selected by Johan Pijinappel of Mumbai
