April 26 – June 13, 2010
Opening reception on May 1st, 1-3pm

In collaboration with the Vancouver Biennale the Richmond Art Gallery will present In Transition:  New Art from India.  India is experiencing a period of remarkable growth and transformation and its artists (like contemporary artists everywhere) are responding to these changes.  With an eye on its past and a view to the future, these artists are examining the social, political, economic and religious implications of becoming a major world economy.  The exhibition will feature installation-based work by six of India’s most recognized contemporary artists:  Shilpa Gupta, Reena Kallat, TV Santhosh, Sudarshan Shetty, artist collective Thukral & Tagra, and Hema Upadhyay.
