DESCRIPTION:"When Violence becomes decadent"\nCurator : Shaheen Merali\nIn
 stalling from June 16th \nVernissage 23rd June \nOpen to public 24th June 
 until the July 29th.\n	\n Artists: Sarnath Banerjee\, Binu Bhaskar\, Rajib
  Chowdhury\, Samit Das\, Natasha de Betak\, Probir Gupta\, Rajkamal Kahlon
 \, Jitish Kallat\, Leena Kejriwal\, Simit Raveshia \n\n\nWhen Violence bec
 omes decadent\, presents a series of ten works by artists living or workin
 g in contemporary India\, creating an artistic discourse and notations wit
 hin a turbulent history that remains entrenched in what can only be descri
 bed as a nation of great ambition and much deprivation. \n\nThe installati
 ons\, photographs\, drawings and prints have mainly resulted by using lens
 -based technologies\, a method used in much of the contemplation of wider 
 problems and of ‘minority’ representation.  The exhibition suggests wa
 ys that curation can become a cohesive and transparent form of research wh
 ich allows an insight into and analysis of the ‘worlds largest democracy
 ’.  \nThe exhibition at the Freies Museum is partially based around a st
 udy of the great poet Rabindranath Tagore who was instrumental in this nat
 ion’s birth and its separation from its former colonial rulers.  Some of
  his works and ideas formed an important history of acts of humanism\, uni
 versalist and internationalist principles which helped to denounce both im
 perialist strictures and spurned\, rigid classical forms of expression by 
 resisting imported linguistic strictures.\nIn trying to examine this legac
 y\, as a historical remain or archive established far from India’s headl
 ong rush into super-capitalism\, it becomes possible to pose a more medita
 tive set of questions\, positions rather than postures and renunciations. 
 \nAs such\, a great amount of the work in the exhibition considers the iss
 ues of scarcity and nationhood\, from mapping the ground for the cheap and
  globalised labour that drives much of the rural ambition into dwelling in
  city squalor to constructing architectural gambles in the Middle East. \n
