writing on the wall
Dear Readers, Welcome to a brand new issue of The Wall! The end of a year is a time for retrospection and NGMA Delhi seems to be doing just that with an exhibition showcasing Atul Dodiya’s works spanning the last three decades. Ranjit Hoskote, India’s most eminent curator and an old friend of Dodiya’s, paints a vivid picture of the artist and his vast repertoire in our cover story this month. We also review two exhibitions from Delhi’s Art District in Lado Sarai’s, recent art night – ‘Posternama’ by Muhammad Zeeshan at Latitude 28 and a very different collection of Bengal Masters at Wonderwall in association with Gallery Sanskriti. As highlighted in last month’s issue, 2013 has been a difficult year for Contemporary Indian Art but as Manu Dosaj puts it, ‘you have to keep doing what you do.’ Do read the Gallerist wherein she generously shares wisdom gathered over 15 long years of founding and running Gallerie Alternatives, a pioneer of Gurgaon’s art scene. And that’s what we do at The Wall. We bring you honest opinions and fair reviews of all the happenings in the Indian art world and will continue to do so in the coming year as well. Until then, on behalf of The Wall I wish you a Merry Christmas and Prosperous 2014 ! Warm wishes Kapil
