This
spring, Asia Society and the Queens Museum of Art co-present
the first-ever major exhibition of contemporary Indian art in
the United States. Co-organized by the Art Gallery of Western
Australia, Edge of Desire: Recent Art in India includes
80 cutting-edge works of sculpture, painting, drawing, installation,
video and interactive media dating from 1993 to the present.
Works of internationally recognized contemporary artists are
shown alongside those of India’s most innovative, emerging
artists. The 38 participating artists and collectives—representing
three generations—live and work in their native India,
in urban centers as well as remote rural areas.
