Recently Tushar Jiwarajka curated an exhibition at INK Conference at Mariott in Pune from 11 - 14 October 2012
The annual INK conference in association with TED, brings together the world's movers and shakers who share ideas, exchange stories and perspectives which facilitate an open exchange. This conference therefore presented a unique opportunity to include art as well in the conversation on critical and creative thinking. Artists, through the 21st century are pushing the boundaries of imagination through their visual vocabulary well-armed with technological innovations since the Machine age, which continue to alter our comprehension of art in contemporary times. The advent of numerous social media and networking sites mean that art today is accessible through several online platforms while multiple perspectives and criticisms can be shared instantly. Film, video, sound and such technical aspects have been incorporated into new media installations and two-dimensional works to confront and tackle social, cultural and global issues.
Artists in this exhibition stood as fine exemplars of such innovations, seamlessly furthering critical approaches in their contemporary art practice. The exhibition included works of Indian and international artists on display or as images for the INK display screen, such as Ranbir Kaleka, Sheba Chhachhi, Subodh Gupta, Wim Delvoye, Bose Krishnamachari, KK Raghava, Alex Grey and specially designed ergonomic furniture from "Obataimu" which is the brainchild of Noorie Sadarangani.
