In Thailand, this exhibition was shown at the Bangkok Arts and Culture Centre and later at the Chulalongkorn University Arts Centre. “As a melting pot of cultures India’s artistic history was thousands of years old at the time of inception as an independent nation state. Across millennia, peoples came, fused with and enriched this cauldron, with their sensibilities and approaches, creating a cultural congruence that, conversely, influenced almost the entire Central and South Asia. After Independence, in the post-war era, as the geopolitics of the world changed and influences from the West gradually began to define every aspect of the world and being “Westernised” became the equivalent of being developed or modern, art was not left untouched. From those who actually shaped the art scene in the formative decades, like Satish Gujral, Anjolie Ela Menon, Jatin Das, Anupam Sud and Arpana Caur, to those who rebel at the very thought of being branded “Indian” and define the art scene today, “India at 70” is an exhibition that spans the oeuvre of this wide sweep. Curated by Gargi Seth, “India at 70” celebrates 70 years of Indian independence with an eclectic collection of paintings, sculptures, photographs and installations, works that are global in appeal and yet enriched with the special Indian sensibility.”
