UP TO THE NINES - Anniversary Show

Venue: Gallery Beyond, 1st Floor, Great Western Bldg, SBS Road, Fort, Mumbai - 400001 | Date: 17 - 23June'13, July'13 & August'13 | Timings: 11am to 6pm

A Group Show celebrating our muses of the last nine years; our success stories of show casing young artists, many for their first solo shows, that spring boarded them to the national and Global Art World...... artists like Prajakta Palav, K.K.Raghava, Minal Damani, Ratna Gupta, Puneet Kaushik, Preetha Kannan, Pritam Bhatty, Manish Chavda to mention a few.

This coupled with some memorable workshops, eight at The Oberoi, Mumbai, and as many at the erstwhile Le Meridien, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kochi and Goa., enabled us to do exactly what we had set out to do - to carve ourselves a niche for yound, new art. The workshops comprising of 16 to 18 artists at a time (some as many as 32 artists) provided the much needed seeding ground for exchange and stimulation.

This show is also an acknowledgement to the younger art fraternity without whom we could not have survived the last some years  the free fall from January2008.

The works in this celebratory show comprise of earlier works from shows and workshops and some new contributions.

Alongwith the fine arts, we have made a conscious effort to pursue and connect other art forms; films for the Kala Ghoda Festival for the last two years; Thespo X a photgraphic exhibition, Alec Padamsee's Experimental Theatre Group, Raell Padamsee Academy of Dance & Speech etc. Our most recent foray into Social based issues was the multifaceted show Resist comprising of Art, fashion and music.
