The present exhibition is the result of the participating artists' visit to Angkor in 2004. 'Angkor offers certain attentiveness to the world of mystic cadences; it became a vital annd singular presence that provides responses akin to the imperatives of conscience. Angkor then became a creative immersion that was both unique and non-pareil. If nostalgia could be exploited in the light of history it was here. The silent centuries of Angkor also became a revelation of the quasi historical nature of the locus for cults. As they lift the silhouette and set back for India, 11 artists came back with the capsule of infinite memories, a striking testimony not only to the awesome power of Angkor but also to the technical proficiency and artistic genius of the common man who created for the whims and fancies of their monarchs.' - extracted from essay by Uma Nair. This catalogue includes artist biographies and article by Neeru Misra on the Khmer architecture of Angkor.
