New Delhi / New Wave
Author: Jerome Neutres
Format: Hardback
Number of Pages: 264
The recent Bollywood craze in the West might get more exposure, but contemporary Indian artists aren't far behind. New Delhi, New Wave is the best introduction to date to the work of established and emerging Indian artists--many of whom are dealing with the theme of women in fresh ways. Pushpamala N., for example, makes Cindy Sherman-esque portraits of herself as Indian female icons, from religious leaders to Bollywood actresses, while Anita Dube combines installation, photography, collage and video to explore Hindu iconography and tradition through a Feminist lens.
