Featuring works by eminent contemporary artists, Gaze Within, Gaze Without, the ongoing exhibition, derives its title from nine diverse practices that have a single common feature — the act of gazing. While some gaze inwards at the self, confronting personal conflicts and crossroads, others gaze outwards, often via the self. For some, the third entity that is the ‘other’ also emerges as a key player in the politics between the self and the arena of public concern. Invariably, the private space transgresses the public, and vice versa, blurring the boundaries of ‘gazing within’ and ‘gazing without’. Participants: Bose Krishnamachari, Chandra Bhattacharya (a painting by him appears above), Chandrima Bhattacharya, Chhatrapati Dutta, Debraj Goswami, Jaya Ganguly, Rajarshi Biswas, Riyas Komu and Sajal Sarkar.
Event: Paintings by contemporary artists When: Till March 11; 12 noon - 7 pm Where: Gandhara Art Gallery, 1B Gurusaday Road, Flat 5A
