Presented by the Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art (FICA), 'URGENT: 10ml of Contemporary Needed!' is a group show featuring ten emerging artists from across India. Chosen by the FICA Emerging Artist Award 2007 jury members Atul Dodiya, Subodh Gupta, N.S.Harsha, Shilpa Gupta, Annapurna Garimella and Anshuman Dasgupta, these artists articulate exciting emerging trends in contemporary Indian art and at the same time represent the heterogeneity and paradox within emerging art practices in India. What binds these young artists is their urgency to respond to the contemporary climate, and to mediate crucial debates. Using historical, textual, spatial and psychological reference points they explore the multi-loci-ed contemporary. The energy that develops here is through the tension, the conflicts and contradictions, within and between their works. They are the small-but-vital 10ml; components that are the essential impetus for change.
Artist biographies are provided in the catalogue.
