Zones of Contact: Propositions on the Museum (2013)
The exhibition ‘Zones of Contact: Propositions on the Museum’ deliberates upon the museum as a site under construction, it's contours still being defined and evaluated in the present day scenario in South Asia. Brought out alongside the exhibition, this catalogue encloses images and text on the artworks that were showcased, and through them reflects on the museum as a place of confluence where varied cultures and communities come together along with their beliefs and ideologies to generate new vocabularies, memories, and histories. By questioning the position of memory in this contested and activated public space, the booklet brings together myriad themes concerned with fast paced changing socio-political realities of the present times.
The texts by the curators, Akansha Rastogi, Deeksha Nath, and Vidya Shivdas along with contributions by artists assist in throwing light on how the artworks respond to each other and to the exhibition as a whole.
