It is an interesting and engaging process to have conversations with gallery and museum directors, curators, professors and grass roots initiatives based out of India, that are working within the global and local scale.Reading the perspectives of some of the key players in this particular part of the world, should shed light into the nature of these markets and the ambitions shaping their infrastructure right from the source.
I recently had a “virtual” conversation with Prateek Raja and Priyanka Raja, the founders of Experimenter, a young gallery located in Kolkatta, India. Some of the more critically engaging and intellectually stimulating shows of contemporary art have been a part of the programming at this space. From the conversation I had with them, it’s quite apparent that Prateek and Priyanka exude a genuine passion for their work and a well thought out focus that the art scene in India would definitely benefit from. Shows of note at the space have included solos by Raqs Media Collective and The Otolith Group, who was nominated for the tenth Turner Prize Award in 2010.
