Histoires-Museographies at Pitt Rivers, Oxford

Histoires and Museographies — two series of new works produced during three artists residencies in Cochin (December 2006; April 2007) and in Bangalore (December 2007) — will form the basis and starting point of a series of interventions at Pitt-Rivers, Oxford.
Inspired by the critiques of the Musée du Quai Branly and by the debate published in the acts of the symposium CULTURE/CULTURES, organized by the Musée d'Ethnographie de Genève, this long term project will take the form of several interventions in the museum in 2009; following a period of research in the museum.
CURATION: I spent three months travelling in India and Pakistan, for a curatorial project which will present works by young emerging artists, selected from art schools and, in the case of folk and tribal artists, from personal encounters. The exhibition, entitled 'THROUGH OTHER EYES: New Art from South Asia' will open at The Herbert, Coventry, in January 2009.
