on the
wall
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the second anniversary issue of The Wall!
It’s that time of the year again when India Art Fair rolls out
its red carpet but this time it fails to impress, bringing back
some new works in the same old packaging.There is lack
of innovation in terms of art works and layout alike. As far
as foreign participants are concerned we didn’t see many
galleries returning from last year’s edition.
Do read our cover story and get a critical take, different
from the rest of the media, on the 6th edition of India Art
Fair.
However, India Art Fair deserves credit for some spectacular
exhibitions put up prior and running parallel to the fair.
We hope that a ripple effect is created in terms of events
around the year leading up to a much better show next
year.
At the Wall, we believe that long term engagements and
sustained activities are the key to reviving the Indian art
scene as a whole, and no one does this better than Pooja
Sood, Director of Khoj - India’s largest not - for - profit art
initiative, featured this month in The Gallerist.
Meanwhile, do your bit in supporting the art scene by
heading to the nearest exhibition and if you still miss
it,subscribe to The Wall and watch all the news on The Wall
Art TV.
Warm wishes
Kapil
