Vyakt Avyakt: The Manifest and the Unmanifest explores the relationship between form and formlessness: the named world of things, and the source it emerges from and returns to. Artistic abstraction represents this relationship, not as distinct entities but as flow, which South Asian philosophy regards as the most divine of states. Each work sits at the seam between these orders, whether in civilisations building and unbuilding, in energy gathering and dissolving, or in the space between depiction and perception.
The Dabriwala Foundation for the Arts advances scholarship and education in art appreciation, founded on a collection curated over three generations.
The Chennai Photo Biennale and WWF India will present a collection of wildlife photographs that showcase the interplay between wildlife, landscapes, topographies and humanity. These photographs invite viewers to consider the natural world as more than a mere backdrop to human life and wildlife as more than exotic species— asking us to slow down and pay attention to the small, often overlooked acts through which humans, animals and ecosystems coexist, in harmony and resistance.
Sale proceeds from this foundation will go towards WWF India.
The Dot Line Space Art Foundation curates an outdoor showcase of notable South Asian artists’ portraits, shot by Richard Bartholomew. Artists become both maker and muse in this documentation of one of the most important eras in Indian art history. From V S Gaitonde to M F Hussain and S H Raza, the photographs capture artists creating their iconic works, and at ease.
The Dot Line Space Art Foundation has been instrumental in promoting art in India, through scholarships, stipends, honors, prizes, and more.
Nature Morte and The Cycle are delighted to present Water Book, a limited-edition work by Reena Saini Kallat in support of The Cycle's water projects. The accordion-fold work depicts traced lines that map political boundaries between countries with shared bodies of water.
For over 25 years, The Cycle has worked with communities across India to create lasting change, with women at the centre of everything it does. Its work rests on three pillars: Water, Women and World. It restores water sources, builds safe toilets, teaches menstrual health and helps farmers earn a living in ways that can withstand climate change. Together with Sanitation First, its partner organisation in Tamil Nadu, it has changed the lives of more than 766,000 people.
