  • The artists are: Bharti Kher Balasubramanyan Chitra Ganesh Jitish Kallat N.S Harsha Dhruvi Acharya Raqib Shaw Raqs Media Collective Subodh Gupta Ranjini Shettar
  • *sigh*

    The richest cultures were/are born where a lot of other cultures connect/collide/...

    So globalism is not always excess capitalism & billboards & fast-food.

    Globalism can also enrich cultures worldwide. And with globalism you can have a bigger melting pot to choose your ideas from. Ex: If I had lived 300 years ago, I probably was a Christian. But now I'm taking aspects of all other religions, and mixing them to a new one, that has much more personal meaning. Same goes with art.

  • Loved the sculpture pulling string and the wall coming out

  • @gexman31 go to bed

  • Ravin's list of artists are extremely well established names. They already have a dedicated market and following internationally. I wouldn't call them 'young artists' to watch out for... it would be like referring to Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin etc as 'young artists' years after they debuted as YBAs!!

  • They are not news already, though, Indian contemporary Art does have some marvelous talents.

    Christie's is selling a piece of Raqib Shaw estimated at £500,000 - 700,000 (it is indeed scrumptiously beautiful) in London February and Phillips is selling a piece of Jitish Kallat for £120,000 - 180,000.

    Good things don't come cheaply :)

  • @vanpat1987

    your right side brain is not working. i feel bad for you.

  • I haven't even seen the clip yet, but you apparently don't know much about art, or capital letter usement. It doesn't have to matter what the piece of art is, in this case 11 circles, it's the thought behind it, what it represents or expresses. But to find that out you shouldn't have BRAIN DAMAGE, !! lol ...

  • she probs has way better craft than your stupid nephew, also, her sculptures were clearly pretty intense, that shit would take a lot of time and devotion, also, the whole, you know, having a concept thing, requires some thought and creativity

  • Every generation decries the 'art' of the following generation.

    However...

    It does seem that TED has lost its' ability to bring tangible breakthroughs to a world that desperately needs them.
