Atul Dodiya - Book Launch based on one of India’s most acclaimed contemporary artists at Siddhartha Hall, Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan, 3 Kasturba Gandhi Marg > 6pm on 27 January 2014
Time : 6:00 pm
Entry : Free (Seating on First-Come First-Served Basis)
Event Description : Atul Dodiya - Book Launch.
Edited by Ranjit Hoskote and published by Prestel Verlag and Vadehra Art Gallery
The launch will be followed by an illustrated talk on Atul Dodiya’s work by Ranjit Hoskote
Prestel Verlag and Vadehra Art Gallery are pleased to announce the launch of Atul Dodiya, a book that provides an overview of the career of Atul Dodiya, one of India’s most acclaimed contemporary artists, through the eyes of writers who have known and followed his work over a considerable period of time. Atul Dodiya has been edited by Ranjit Hoskote, with contributions by Thomas McEvilley, Enrique Juncosa, and Nancy Adajania.
Hoskote’s introductory essay establishes the key themes and concerns of Dodiya’s career over three decades, mapping his transition from the easel painting to a practice premised on the installation and social space, his adoption of popular art as a political strategy of representation, and his invention of an artistic genealogy through which to define an amplified, transcultural selfhood. McEvilley’s essay situates Dodiya’s work rigorously across the epochal rupture between modernism and postmodernism; Juncosa offers a sensitive meditation on the relationship in Dodiya’s work between image and word, visual expression and poetic discourse; Adajania engages the artist in a reflective studio conversation about his
art and its social, cultural and political contexts, prompting unexpected revelations about his work process and insights into the connections between his art and the cultural shifts of the 20th and early 21st centuries.
This book invites its readers into the alternately pensive and high-spirited art of Atul Dodiya, its negotiations with a complex Indian reality and a fast-changing international situation, its cultural specificity as well as its intimate relationship to the global history of the avant-garde. and early
