Raqib Shaw
The first monograph on more than thirty years’ work by the Indian-born British artist, whose opulent, brightly colored paintings have made him one of the most extraordinary and sought-after artists working today. Shaw’s work is as vibrant and ornate in color and detail as it is ambitious in scope, with a remarkable synergy between his fantastical and often violent imagery and the delicacy of his technique. Deeply inspired by the old masters but infused with his own personal iconography, and drawing equally on eastern and western mythology, his work represents a compelling and profoundly contemporary hybridization of aesthetics and sensibilities. His opulent and intricately detailed paint...
Cintaku Bukan Murah
Bagi Nadra, jadi isteri Raqib tidaklah sesusah mana. Tak perlu dilayan macam putera raja. Makan disuap tidur didodoi pun tidak. Pendek kata, Raqib memang suami yang sempoi. Yang sukarnya bila jadi cucu menantu bekas Leftenan Kolonel Tuan Haji Yunus. Tak habis-habis mengungkit, kononnya, dia tak pandai buat air kopi. Badannya macam papan lapis dan muka pula pucat tak berdarah. Sabar sajalah... Dan yang lebih payah, bila jadi kakak ipar Idlan. Umur baru 16 tahun, kerenahnya sangat menyakitkan hati. Sungguh, Nadra buntu! Apa lagi yang tak kena dengan Idlan? Maka berperang psikologilah antara kakak ipar dan adik ipar. Kejap-kejap hati Nadra dilapah Idlan. Kejap-kejap, hati Idlan pula yang dicelur. Si datuk, sesekali jadi nasi tambah. Namun perang mereka, perang mulut. Tak ada senjata, tak ada yang cedera tapi bisanya tetap tusuk sampai ke hati. Soalnya, siapa yang menang? Nadra, Idlan atau Tuan Haji Yunus? Dan Raqib... harus berpihak pada siapa? Bagi Nadra, dia tidak meminta yang lain. Hanya secebis kasih Idlan dan simpati Tuan Haji Yunus yang sangat mahal, sama macam harga cinta Raqib. Sama ada murah atau mahal, Nadra harap cinta itu jadi miliknya!
Lelaki Itu Dia
Berkali-kali pandang, hati tak terpaut. Makannya laju. Mandinya basah. Yang celaru, hanya tidurnya. Hilang lena bila kerap diganggu. “Saya nak abang. Saya doa mimpi kita sama. Sanding pakai baju pink.” Bila doa jadi nyata, Thaqif kalut. Shana yang entah turun dari planet mana itu, lambang haru-biru. Sekelip mata, dunianya yang serona, bagaikan berpelangi.
Bangladesh Cinema and National Identity
Throughout the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, cinema has been adopted as a popular cultural institution in Bangladesh. At the same time, this has been the period for the articulation of modern nationhood and cultural identity of Bengali Muslims in Bangladesh. This book analyses the relationship between cinema and modernity in Bangladesh, providing a narrative of the uneven process that produced the idea of "Bangladesh cinema." This book investigates the roles of a non-Western "national" film industry in Asia in constructing nationhood and identity within colonial and postcolonial predicaments. Drawing on the idea of cinema as public sphere and the postcolonial notion of formatio...

Raqib Shaw
Raqib Shaw?s opulent and brightly coloured paintings suggest a fantastical world full of intricate detail, rich colour, and jewel-like surfaces, all masking the intense violent, religious and sexual nature of its imagery. There is a sense of anxiety in the paintings, which are influenced by Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights. In this exhibition he also made a large-scale model of a giant lobster-type creature devouring a man with a bird-head.
