Shilpa Gupta
This book will present a richly informative and analytical account of the work of the artist Shipla Gupta, her ideas and projects, and the global political contexts in which she situates them. The most significant feature of her new media works - which deal with themes such as body piracy, the politics of the sacred, securitization and surveillance - is that they are universally readable, which makes them accessible and relevant to both local and international audiences. And yet Gupta's works retain a reserve of ambivalence, secrecy and dynamic paradox. Edited by the Bombay-based cultural theorist, art critic and independent curator Nancy Adajania, this book will carry essays by contributors of international eminence such as Peter Weibel, the director of ZKM, Karlsruhe; Quddus Mirza, art critic, artist and curator from Pakistan. AUTHOR: Nancy Adajania is a cultural theorist, art critic and independent curator. ILLUSTRATIONS 200 colour images *

Image Beyond Image: New Media Art Of Contemporary India
In the development of contemporary Visual Art practices, New Media Art has enormous involvement to enhance the quality of postmodern art and art critique. Contextually the new development of contemporary Indian art has been started from the sixties —this new trend which reflects a genre of non-conventional practices of Visual Art. The image became more conceptual from this era. With the relation of this new genre, the visual came to a point of zenith in the nineties when artists of India became involved with the broader area of art through the New Media works of art. The study focuses on the New Media Art of contemporary India from 1990 to the till now. It also highlights the visual interaction of New Media Art with its conceptual aspect as an image beyond the image in context to contemporary art- world.

Dates.sites
dates.sites presents a timeline of the city of Bombay/Mumbai in the 20th century, anchored to its most adored public institution: cinema. Why this timeline when it is now generally accepted that dates are rigid and memories porous - and that the latter needs to be prioritized over the former? How does one create a timeline that is neither cast in stone nor vulnerable to the charge of 'manufacturing a past'? How does one evolve a timeline for a geographically defined entity in the context of its popular cultures that are defined by specific processes of production and distribution? These were some of the challenges that confronted the making of this volume. The volume is divided into sections...
