In this episode, we will take a look at the Vesara temple's architecture. The architectural style of the temple is not completely new but rather an interesting confluence, almost a consolidation of Nagara and Dravida styles. The towers of Nagara temples in northern India are above the sacred innermost chamber. Independent in form, they dominate over any other structure throughout the temple; the only connection is through a vestibule to the rest of the temple. Typically this develops from the ardha mandapa joined by further chambers known as rangamandira, gudda mandapa and sabhamandap. Devotees circumambulate the garbha griha along a pradakshina patha which was later enclosed. The Nagara temple is situated on an elevated jagati and presents a more developed and complex version of the single-shrined Deogarh temple, for example, in the multi-shrined Kandariya Mahadeo temple, arranged in a panchayatana style with five shrines.Tune in to listen and expand your knowledge about the histories behind the temples in India and their architectural wonders.

This week: a huge survey of the work of the late linchpin of the Los Angeles contemporary scene Mike Kelley has arrived at Tate Modern in London. We speak to its co-curator Catherine Wood about this enormously influential artist and his visceral and absurd response to popular culture and folk traditions of the US. A major show of Indian art made between 1975 and 1998, a pivotal period of political, social and economic change in the country, opened this week at the Barbican Art Gallery in London. Shanay Jhaveri, a former curator of international art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York who is now head of visual arts at the Barbican, leads us in a tour of show. And this episode's Work of the Week is Raoul Dufy's Thirty Years or La Vie en Rose (1931), a painting made originally for the 30th anniversary of a gallery in Paris, that was owned by the pioneering woman gallerist Berthe Weill. She is the subject of an exhibition at the Grey Art Museum at New York University, which will tour next year to Montreal and Paris. Lynn Gumpert, the co-curator of the show and director of the Grey Art Museum, tells us about the painting, the artist and the dealer.Mike Kelley: Ghost and Spirit, Tate Modern, London, until 9 March 2025; Mike Kelley: Ghost and Spirit; Moderna Museet, Stockholm, 12 April-15 September 2025.The Imaginary Institution of India: Art 1975–1998, Barbican Art Gallery, London, 5 October-5 January 2025; and you can hear an in-depth interview with Nalini Malani on A brush with…, that's the episode from 21 February this year.Make Way for Berthe Weill: Art Dealer of the Parisian Avant-Garde, Grey Art Museum, New York, until 1 March; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, 10 May-7 September 2025; Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris, 8 October 2025-25 January 2026.Subscription offer: get three months of The Art Newspaper for just £1/$1/€1.

In this episode of the podcast, we'll delve into the fascinating world of the Chola Dynasty — a formidable South Indian empire that flourished from the 9th to the 13th centuries CE. Originating in present-day Tamil Nadu, the Cholas expanded their influence far beyond their homeland, conquering the kingdoms of the Pallavas, Cheras, and Pandyas to establish a vast and significant empire in Southern India and beyond.Vijayalaya Chola established the Chola empire in the 9th century. His successors, notably Rajaraja Chola I (reigned 985–1014 CE) and his son Rajendra Chola I (reigned 1014–1044 CE), took the empire to new heights and expanded it to previously uncharted territories — making it one of the vastest empires in the Southern region of the country. Rajaraja Chola I's reign was marked by significant administrative and military reforms, laying the foundation for a well-organised and powerful empire. The Cholas reached their zenith in social, religious, and military spheres under his rule, before their gradual decline in the late 12th century — paving the way for the rise of successor states.Tune in to listen and expand your knowledge about the histories behind the temples in India and their architectural wonders.

In this episode of the podcast, we'll delve into the structural and ecological brilliance of one of the most iconic examples of Pallava architecture: The Shore Temple. To trace the evolution of the Dravida temple style, we'll also take a brief look at the Kailashnath Temple in Kanchipuram, the historic capital of the Pallava dynasty. Along the way, we'll explore the concepts of akam and puram, which underpin the spiritual essence of Dravida temple towns.As pioneers of Dravidian temple architecture, the early Pallava rulers were instrumental in establishing a sophisticated artistic and architectural identity. This identity not only defines Pallava style but also reveals the deep symbolic connections between ecology and art. Our exploration of the Shore Temple, perched on the Coromandel Coast in Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu, will shed light on these philosophical, semiotic, and ecological aspects.Tune in to listen and expand your knowledge about the histories behind the temples in India and their architectural wonders.

In this episode of the podcast, we will briefly examine monolithic structures from the Pallava dynasty, which became precursors to future Dravida temples. Continuing along similar lines, we will also explore these monolithic structures to understand their functions and purposes.As you might recall, in the previous episode our discussion focused on the Udayagiri caves — highlighting how a monolithic structure became a social, cultural, and political emblem. Due to royal patrons and their secular support for various faiths, there was a fundamental evolution of art and architecture in the Indian subcontinent. Artistic production and development from the onset of regional dynasties relied primarily on two factors: patronage and religion. Specifically, architectural expansion often began with the rock-cut method, producing devotional monolithic structures as well as sculptures.Tune in to listen and expand your knowledge about the histories behind the temples in India and their architectural wonders.

In this episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green explores the contemporary Indian art scene with Aparajita Jain, director of Nature Morte and founder of the Saat Saath Arts Foundation. We discuss the evolution of the Indian art market, from its global exposure in the early 2000s to the recent changes post-COVID. Aparajita provides insights into the current state of the contemporary Indian art market and the exposure of Indian artists globally. We also explore the interest of young collectors in contemporary Indian art and the role of philanthropy in supporting the arts in India. Aparajita shares her perspectives on the challenges and opportunities for the Indian art scene in the coming years.

In this episode of the podcast, we shall delve into the fascinating world of Dravida temples. While we have briefly studied Nagara and its subdivisions in the north, Dravida temples predominantly belong to southern India, with Vesara temples found in the central part. Whether you find yourself in the temples of Tamil Nadu or the grand structures of Rajasthan, each temple tells a story of devotion, artistry, and the enduring legacy of India's rich architectural heritage.We'll take a look at how gopurams of Dravida temples are not merely decorative; but also function as gateways — marking the transition from the secular to the sacred — and how, the Dravida style, with its focus on precision and detailed sculptures, contrasts with the Nagara style's emphasis on verticality and ornate spires.Tune in to listen and expand your knowledge about the histories behind the temples in India and their architectural wonders.

What happened in the 6th century BCE? Can a non-human (robot? dog?) have a soul? Does God's time move from the past to the future? Is the present, in a sense, always avant-garde? How are bureaucratic orders made to perpetuate in time? How does a common person today understand the yugas? Who has the ‘need' to think about the future? How are different time periods squeezed into a single register in art? Why do we invoke ramrajya? Do ideal types constrain how far (& ‘how') one can think of the future? What did women joining the Buddhist sanghas (not) cause? Could science fiction become a historical artefact? Is a ‘genius' science fiction writer akin to a ‘genius' scientist? Is religion all about survival? Are religion, art and politics interwoven in the pharaoh? Are the pyramids, megaliths, Stonehenge, & the Chinese burial pits for the immediate afterlife of the dead or the future of those later alive? Are genealogies often invented? Is there a part of us that ‘needs' to believe? Do we wish that the future were pre-ordained? Do we inhabit multiple temporalities? &, when is the messiah coming (back)? SynTalk thinks about these & more questions using ideas from art history (Dr. Shailka Mishra, Jagdish and Kamla Mittal Museum of Indian Art, Hyderabad), theology (Prof. Ori Z. Soltes, Georgetown University, Washington DC), & ancient history (Dr. Meera Viswanathan, Shiv Nadar University, Greater Noida). Listen in...

"In 2010, I totally got wedded to Indian aesthetics. I decided to view art through the lens of the rasa theory. I went back to the Natya Shastra because that is where it all starts. When I look at art, I find a sense of immediacy, through emotion, through rasa. When you look at the work of Manjit Bawa or Swaminathan or Raza, our great modernists, why are they all still so relevant? Raza's way of looking at abstraction came from very Indic principles. From Raja Ravi Varma and Amrita Sher Gill to contemporary artists, there is an unbroken tradition. You see it even in our digital art. In India, the parallel trajectories of tradition, modernity and the contemporary are still continuing. We can't have a break with the past. Our traditions and roots are still present" - Alka Pande, author, '108 Portraits of Indian Modern and Contemporary Art' talks to Manjula Narayan on the Books & Authors podcast about being rooted in Indian aesthetics, new developments in Indian art, the role of the artist as a catalyst and a conscience keeper, museums as the new patrons and more

In this episode, historian Dr. Seema Bawa talks about the common misconceptions about South Asian art, whether it is possible to read gender roles in early Indian art, and how artists view feminism differently today.‘In Perspective' is The Swaddle's podcast series where academics reveal little-known facts about Indian history, society and culture. Notes: 00:00:48:07- What common stereotypes about South Asian art are still prevalent globally? Are they misplaced?00:05:30:13- As opposed to the olden days when art was linked to people of elite classes, in contemporary India, are marginalized people getting space and/or recognition for their art? 00:08:39:05- How has the feminist art movement evolved in India? Should there be emphasis on the gender of the creator of a piece of art? 00:14:26:18- What kind of gender narratives do we see in early Indian art?

Is enough recognition given to the work of marginalized communities in that formal art realm?   00:31:50:11- Why is it important to engage with art as a society?

Vinayak Kamath is the co-founder and managing partner of Hearth Ventures, which is India's first mentor fund for craft and circular economy enterprises. Vinayak is an alumnus of the Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Sciences and has a background in engineering and management. Before starting Hearth Ventures, Vinayak worked as a corporate executive with Indian multinationals like Arvind Mills and G, co-founded a couple of companies, and worked as a private equity investor. The motivation to start Hearth Ventures came from a desire to invest in the handicraft sector in India, which was missing at-risk capital. The sector had numerous skilled artisans but was facing challenges such as skill attrition and traditional art forms dying. With the help of experts in the craft sector, it was concluded that at-risk capital was needed to rejuvenate and revive traditional Indian art forms. Vinayak and his team hope to be the first to set up a venture fund for the craft sector and believe that with at-risk capital, the other elements of a successful venture such as marketing and distribution, design expertise, and a market audience, will fall into place. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tbcy/support

The oldest known written melody is the Hurrian Hymn Number 6, from around 1400 BC. Closer home, Indian classical music is one of the oldest unbroken musical traditions in the world. Its origin can be traced to recitations of Vedic scriptures i.e. 6000 years ago. Similarly, the history of art extends from prehistoric cave paintings thru Byzantine, Baroque, Impressionism, Cubism, Surrealism all the way to modern Pop art and Minimalism. The Indus Valley probably marks the recorded start of Indian Art. That is quite a mouthful

We have arrived at the end of the podcast series, Indian Art History. In this episode, our host Ayushi takes us to the complex comprehensions of contemporary Indian art.

Priya Gore. Wow, what a joyful person.  I had so much fun with this podcast and I hope people that listen to it can hear the joy not only in her voice but in mine as well.If you are an artist and wondering: "how do I go about doing this? should I take that leap? Is it worth it? Can I do it?" Well, let me tell you. Priya did it. From growing up in India with 20+ cousins (essentially brothers and sisters) that are all doctors except for the one telecommunications engineer, progressing through that industry and ending up in Australia, to eventually becoming an extremely talented full-time artist. She just has wonderful abilities with a paintbrush. This is one of those insightful and uplifting podcasts that you rarely come across but when you do, it's such a joy. Priya is definitely a unique and interesting human being and I think everyone who listens to this will have a great time. Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 204 with Priya Gore.

As India edged towards independence from the British, Indian artists also set free their aspirations, beliefs and conformities by experimenting and searching for visual idioms that made their work more of the subcontinent.

A quick tour to 19th century Kolkata. We are particularly visiting the Kalighat temple where the Kalighat paintings are being sold as souvenirs to pilgrims. This resulted in an art style that spoke not just about religion and mythology but also urged its readers to think beyond through social satire.

We take immense pride in #India's unique and glorious #history, and yet the unfortunate irony is that most of the best relics of this history are scattered across museums and private collections far away from India. The large scale looting of India by British colonisers deprived it of tens of thousands of priceless artworks among so much else. Even as India approaches 75 years of #independence and claims to have arrived as a major political and economic power on the world stage, surprisingly there is little to no national discussion about restoring our vast stolen heritage. In recent years a few volunteer-based independent initiatives have emerged working towards building a moral case for restitution of Indian #artefacts. They argue that “History belongs to Geography”, and it is wrong for the #heritage of #Indian people to be located elsewhere. While their efforts have been quite successful in bringing back many important #antiquities smuggled out of India post independence, the national museums of UK and many other western countries have flatly refused to return art objects plundered during the colonial period. Arguments range from the futility of correcting historical wrongs to the inability of India in protecting and preserving precious art. Some Indian scholars also support this view pointing to the apathy of the Indian government and broader society towards #art. They highlight the dismal condition of most of India's resource-starved museums and the poor treatment meted out to many of the recovered artworks. But does India's alleged incompetence in looking after its heritage entitle others to own it? Are Indian #artworks really better off in international #museums?Panelists - 1.
