et al.
Contemporary art in India has enjoyed
a tremendous flourishing since the
early 1990s, thanks in part to the
country’s economic growth and the
increased availability of media technology.
as Indian artists establish an
ever-stronger presence on the global
art scene, India: Art Now shows how
their negotiations of the global and
the local are yielding fascinating fruit.
Included here are works by rina
Banerjee, Hemali Bhuta, atul Dodiya,
Sheela gowda, Shilpa gupta, Subodh
gupta, Jitish Kallat, reena Kallat,
rashmi Kaleka, Bharti Kher, ravinder
reddy, vivan Sundaram and thukral
and tagra, among others—artists who
have found ways to express the aspirations
and conflicts of a new generation,
through media varying from painting,
sculpture and photography to installation
and interactive art. Leading Indian
critics, scholars, writers and artists
discuss new developments and artistic
positions in Indian contemporary art,
and its role on the global art scene.

A Place in the
Shade
The New Landscape and
Other Essays
By Charles Correa.
hATJe CAnTz
Charles Correa’s A Place in the Shade
explores architectural and urban issues
in India, from the house as a machine
for dealing with the country’s often
hostile climate to the metaphysical role
of architecture as a “model of the cosmos.”
this provocative and eminently
readable collection of essays argues
that the country’s habitat must respond
to the overriding parameters of climate,
culture and financial resources,
and that our physical environment
should accommodate both diversity
and synergy. over the last few decades,
urban real estate has become the primary
source of financing for political
parties and the politicians who run
them, and as Correa acknowledges,
“you cannot look at cities without wandering
into architecture on the one
hand and politics on the other.” A
Place in the Shade identifies the defining
issues of the urbanization trends
that are so rapidly transforming India.

Introduction by Andrea Giunta.
gyula Kosice (born 1924) is an innovative
argentine artist and poet. His constructions
and sculptures were inspired
as much by local discussions and disputes
in the cafés of 1940s Buenos aires
as by the international avant-garde. In
dialogue with gabriel pérez-Barreiro in
this latest volume from the Fundación
Cisneros’ Conversaciones/Conversations
series, Kosice recalls his contributions
to an era of hotly debated
movements and manifestos; the magazine
Arturo; the formation of arte madí;
his interactive mobiles; and his groundbreaking
use of materials like neon and
water to articulate a futuristic
vision that includes Hydrospatial
City, a community suspended in space.

Barrão: Mashups
The ALdrICh ConTeMPorArY ArT
MuseuM
foreword by Tunga. Text by Mónica
ramírez Montagut.
Brazilian artist Barrão (born 1959) is
best known for his whimsical, somewhat
bizarre sculptural clusters and
“mash-ups” assembled from fragments
of popular vitreous porcelain and ceramic
objects. the artist acquires these
fragments, once commonly cherished
in Brazilian households, by scouting
the secondhand stores, flea markets
and dumpsters of rio de Janeiro.
When a sufficient quantity of materials
has been accumulated, Barrão sorts
and classifies the ceramics in his
studio, separating them by size, color,
function, vessel or ornament. these
fragments are then carefully fused
into a single sculptural entity, each
of which constitutes a sort of a minicollection—a
vibrant magma of
explosive visual and tactile qualities.
published for Barrão’s 2012 exhibition
at the aldrich Contemporary art
museum, and with a foreword by
tunga, this volume offers a concise
introduction to Barrão’s free-flowing
associative sculpture.

For more than 40 years, the mexican
artist, designer and architect eduardo
terrazas (born 1936) has worked
across disciplines to imagine new ways
of adding color and expansiveness to
the landscape around him. this volume
compiles his abstract paintings
for the first time. terrazas’ abstractions
range from bright, bold and chunkily
geometric paintings to more delicate,
evanescent works, but all are suffused
with a robust and joyous feeling for
color. Here, these works are organized
into a visual tour of terrazas’ entire
oeuvre, arranged in pairs that mix the
various series comprising his visual
art, establishing analogies, contrasts
and affinities. Possibilities of a Structure
includes an introduction, three essays,
a conversation and a biographical
profile, as well as a catalogue presenting
the oeuvre divided into 15 series,
each accompanied by an analytical text
and information.
