Look East
The sixth edition of Art Basel in Hong Kong has a strong representation from galleries across India – from Chemould Prescott Road to Experimenter, Nature Morte to Vadehra Art Gallery in the Galleries sector, the main sector of the show; Gallery Espace and Sakshi Gallery in the Insights sector; and Jhaveri Contemporary, GALLERYSKE and Tarq in the Discoveries section. Among the stars will be Manjunath Kamath, whose work is strongly influenced by folk art and American photographer Waswo X. Waswo, famous for his chemical-processed, sepia-toned photographs of India. Artist duo Pors- Rao (Aparna Rao and Soren Pors) will present a digital interactive booth at GALLERYSKE, continuing their survey on human behaviour; and Vivek Vilasini will present possibly his most political work yet, addressing climate change and pollution.
