Paris-Delhi-Bombay... is a new genre of exhibition, an invitation to discover contemporary Indian society as seen by Indian and French visual artists. It resembles a real platform of communication which, in particular brings together Pierre & Gilles, Philippe Ramette, Fabrice Hyber, Subodh Gupta, and Bharti Kher.
Today’s India, a new leading economic player, the largest democracy and the second most populated country in the world, arouses interest and passion but for us is still far away.
“Paris-Delhi-Bombay...” is a new genre of exhibition, an invitation to discover contemporary Indian society as seen by Indian and French visual artists.
Nearly fifty artists have recognised the profound changes in India today and have delivered their perception of the politics, religion, town planning, craftsmanship and even the home. Their work has been built on communications with art historians, sociologists, political pundits, philosophers and anthropologists from the two countries. Most of the French artists paid their first visit to India for this project.
The exhibition resembles a real platform of communication which, in particular brings together Pierre & Gilles, Philippe Ramette, Fabrice Hyber, Subodh Gupta, and Bharti Kher.
