OPENING SHOT: At artist
Laila Khan Rajpal's first exhibition of 16 works organised by Arushi Arts
at the India Habitat Center in Delhi last week, the capital's glam set
turned out in droves. And when actress Rekha arrived with Laila's father
Feroze Khan, it took three appeals before the thicket of cameras and microphones
parted enough to let her pass on. After which everyone did the rounds
looking at the mixed media paintings, most of which have two motifs: Hellenic
architecture and a beautiful female face.

 STYLE
BHAIS: Okay, so now Mumbai-based designer 40-year-old Hemant Trevedi
(below, centre) had a show in Delhi last week. A brief one, with seven
models ... and as many outfits. "But can somebody please stop talking
about 'resistance' between Delhi and Mumbai designers," he requests
at the post-show gab session at the India Habitat Centre after the launch
of the IBM Thinkpad Transnote (for which he specially flew in along with
Shobha De and Mario Miranda). "Talk about 'Indian' designers as a
whole." They'd better ... the India Fashion Week that led to a tiff
between the two metros last year in Delhi is to take place later in Mumbai.
And patch-up preliminaries help.

Kolkata images find a resting place
|
For a city that provides great visuals, Kolkata
is shockingly ill-equipped when it comes to archiving photographs. In fact,
it doesn't have any archives at all. "If you want photographs of a
tram, you have just two choices," says photojournalist Amit Dhar. "Either
take them yourself, or beg and borrow from local newspapers." Dhar,
along with four other colleagues, has now begun Kolkata Images, an archives
of some of the city's best (and worst) moments: Durga puja, waterlogging,
political activism. Last week, Images opened shop with a photography exhibition-30-odd
evocative images from iconic visuals of Kolkata's book district College
Street to one of a beggar's body being slung by undertakers. They will eventually
find their way into a 500-item stockpile of pictures. "It makes you
look at a familiar city in a completely new light,"says well-known
photographer Nemai Ghosh, who unsuccessfully lobbied with the Government
to set up an archives a few years ago. If only the state Government could
be made to do it too.
