music and dance have long inspired visual artists to make pictures.<br />
More recently, South Asian performing arts traditions have sparked<br />
visual artists around the world to re-imagine ‘<strong>Sangeet</strong>’ (music and<br />
dance) in a variety of electronic media and innovative forms. This<br />
exhibition features artists from Canada and England who engage<br />
with South Asian music and dance traditions to illuminate questions<br />
about the body and music, the individual and the group, gender and<br />
spirituality. Including photo-paintings of Bharatanatyam dance,<br />
Bollywood poster collage, and kinetic photo-sculpture, the exhibition<br />
incorporates diverse genres of sangeet: from giddha to rock, and<br />
classical dance to contemporary movement. Celebratory or critical,<br />
audacious or introspective, each artwork presents a picture worth<br />
a thousand songs and represents a living — and vibrant — artistic<br />
tradition.<br />
Curated by Naveen Girn and Jordan Strom<br />
