Art criticism and journalism


If you're interested in art critics take a look at the texts of Georgina Maddox:

She is also writing for the Goethe Institute Arts Magazine "The Art & the City":
The Goethe Institute Max Mueller Bhavan publishes an online journal on art scenes of the major cities in India:

Galleries in Mumbai


Project 88



"Project 88 was established in downtown Mumbai in 2006 by Sree Goswami. The 4000 square feet gallery is housed in a century old metal printing press. The gallery supports emerging and established artists in long-term relationships to facilitate understanding and awareness of their continually evolving practices in India and in international venues.

Project 88 works with a generation of emerging artists within India who are making innovative, experimental and ambitious works in all media and modes within a conceptual framework.

In a span of five years, the gallery has evolved along with these artists, adding important mid-career artists from the region and abroad, on the strength of it's committed programme. The gallery has participated in several fairs including Frieze, Arco, Hong Kong Art Fair, Art Dubai and India Art Summit. Many of its artists are in major international collections, biennales, and museum shows." (http://www.project88.in/)

Initiative: Dekha Undekha

Dekha Undekha is an initiative that fosters contact between local artists and slum dwellers in Mumbai. Their projects are not only about illustrating the problems of poor neighbourhoods, they actually make art for and with people from those neighbourhoods. Their latest project is called 'Ghar Pe' and is concerned with women's health concerns and consists of photographs, ceramics and installations.
I like the idea to use exhibitions to improve living conditions in slums, though I am not sure how effective this method is.
