Still Moving Image: video and photography compilations

The Devi Art Foundation opens with its inaugural exhibition 'Still Moving Image' - a selection of video and photography creations compilations made by 25 Indian artists.  The exhibition brings to view key artworks and highlights the aesthetic innovations made by visionary artists, as they grapple with situating works within the context of society, its advancements and concerns. The exhibition uses the familiarity of the 'moving image' within the Indian social life parameter as a starting point for its many explorations. It uses an open ended exhibition design, that allows for multiple entry points for viewers and for their own experiences to dictate their understanding of the works.

Broadly speaking, the blocks of ideas that emerge in the exhibition may be characterised as an exploration of the axial position of the person in all experiences; a strident engagement with socio-political discourses; identity and how it is constructed through historical reading and the post-colonial situation; an examination of the role and meaning of globalisation in India today and finally the honest documentation of the present which is also an aspiration of a better future. 'Still Moving Image' mobilises ideas – those that have reached maturity, those ready to germinate and those yet to be conceived.

The exhibition brings together the works of Aastha Chauhan, Baptist Coelho, Amit Dutta, Atul Bhalla, Avinash Veeraghavan, Bharti Kher, Kiran Subbaiah, Mithu Sen, Nalini Malani, Navin Thomas, Pushpamala N., Ram Rahman, Rameshwar Broota, Ranbir Kaleka, Ravi Agarwal, Sheba Chhachhi, Shilpa Gupta, Sonia Khurana, Sudarshan Shetty, Surekha, Susanta Mandal, Tejal Shah, Tushar Joag, Valay Shende, Varsha Nair and Vivan Sundaram.
