NEW DELHI.- India Art Fair, the leading platform to discover modern and contemporary art from South Asia, opens to the public tomorrow. In partnership with BMW Group India, India Art Fair 2019 presents 75 exhibitors from 24 Indian and international cities. Evolution and expansion of the programme both on- and off-site offers visitors unique access to the breadth and strength of India’s thriving visual art scene. The fair runs until Sunday 3 February 2019.

The fair programme reflects upon the changing face of the global art community with Forum, a platform encouraging opportunities aimed at the younger generation. This year’s guest curator Sitara Chowfla, a writer, researcher and curator based between London and New Delhi, celebrates critical experimentation and the work of artists, curators, institutions, critics and collectors across the globe. Forum includes performances by internationally renowned artists Yasmin Jahan Nupur, Amol K. Patil, Mithu Sen, Sahej Rahal, Sajan Mani, and extends into the main gallery halls with Forum Projects, including When All Roads Are One by New York based artist and designer Ghiora Aharoni.

This year, for the first time, IAF has commissioned graphic designer and street artist @thebigfatminimalist to design the façade for the four gallery halls. Selected by India Art Fair and St+art India Foundation, the design is inspired by the topography and roadmaps of Delhi, and reflects traditional pattern work along with a futuristic digital graphic style. This collaboration will continue each year, offering a unique opportunity for an emerging artist to design the fair’s exterior.

Jagdip Jagpal, Fair Director of India Art Fair, commented: ‘As India Art Fair enters a new decade, we welcome our strongest line-up of exhibitors from across South Asia and the world. Modern and contemporary South Asian art remains the focus of the fair, with 70% of the floor space dedicated to Indian galleries, and some incredible artists never before seen by Indian audiences are being exhibited by international galleries. We are committed to making artists central to the discussion and debate, and are delighted to have included a programme of world-renowned South Asian performance artists for the first time. Outside the IAF grounds, galleries across Delhi and India are exhibiting as part of IAF Parallel, a programme that will continue after the fair offering our audiences a window into the breath of art on offer in this incredible region.’
