Enkita Arts hopes to be a gallery with a difference.
Apart from making the outreach of contemporary Indian
art truly global, serious writing on the arts, will
be brought into the mainstream again. Apart from
providing a platform to serious critics and art
writers, for the first time, artists will be encouraged
to share the artistic processes and the journey,
its inspirational mainstay with the audiences. We
offer space to writers who are interested in engaging
with contemporary art practices and hope to serve
as a platform for some varied kind of writing on
art, and contemporary visual culture, video art,
performance art, books and films pertaining to art
and artists. The attempt will be to de-mystify various
aspects of the arts in all its manifestations and
make inroads into hitherto unexplored vistas of
audiences who are interested, but uninitiated.
The idea is to focus on art and artists who have
the potential to or already are important in shaping
the history of, contemporary Indian art, or attempting
to explore new directions. Our chosen mandate is
art that is both mainstream and fringe. Fully celebrating
the potential of the mainstream, we will try to
negotiate the ephemeral space between the dynamics
of the ‘emergent’, ‘dominant’,
and the ‘residual’ forces within contemporary
artistic practices. The relatively newer forms like
video art, performance art and books pertaining
to art and artists will be part of the total picture.
Not treating the hugely vibrant traditional, folk
and tribal arts as second grade activity, the idea
will be to help provide a platform to arts and artists
from diverse regions of the country to international
audiences.
