In collaboration with the Vancouver Biennale the Richmond Art Gallery will present In Transition: New Art from India. India is experiencing a period of remarkable growth and transformation and its artists (like contemporary artists everywhere) are responding to these changes. With an eye on its past and a view to the future, these artists examine the social, political, economic and religious implications of becoming a major world economy. The exhibition will feature installation-based work by six of India’s most recognized contemporary artists: Shilpa Gupta, Reena Kallat, TV Santhosh, Sudarshan Shetty, artist collective Thukral & Tagra, and Hema Upadhyay
