ART In the Realm of the Visual--Exhibition by Dashrath Patel (NGMA, Delhi: September 18-October 18 ) After five decades of experimenting with diverse forms of art such as painting, ceramics, photography and design, Dashrath Patel brings them all under one roof. The retrospective exhibition also features four workshops, a book release and dialogues on his works by the Ahmedabad-based artist. Pen and Ink Drawings--Amole Gupte With an eye for detail, an element of the bizarre, a virgin perspective of the mundane, Amole Gupte's images become metaphorical stories. Once an assistant film director, he turned to drawing and writing three years ago. Gupte's show includes prints done as title graphics for the film Hazaar Chaurasi ki Maa. The proceeds will go to author Mahasweta Devi's cause for tribals. Photo Exhibition on Wood-Carving Traditions of Kumaon Traditional woodwork of the Kumaon region in Uttar Pradesh is a fast disappearing part of India's heritage. This exhibition is an attempt at resurrecting this dying art form. Anup Sah's photographs vividly capture the exquisiteness of this little-known craft. An enriching experience for art lovers. MOVIES It's a fitting tribute to Le Corbusier at his best architectural marvel -- Chandigarh. Organised by the Alliance Francaise, the fourth edition of this annual cinematic feast is on a bigger scale: nine long movies and 26 short movies. It's time for the Balle balle crowd to say, "C'est la vie!" DANCE Bangalore's dance theatre group Stem is committed to blending traditional and modern dance forms. Based on the concept of illusion versus reality, its new productionYugma is an adaptation of German playwright Bertolt Brecht's The Seven Deadly Sins of the Petty Bourgeoisie and noted writer Raja Rao's Serpent and the Rope. |
