Meena, 'Elsewhere in India' 2024
Thea-Mai Baumann, Artistic Director and CEO of 4A, will introduce us to 4A’s
program, as well as give a floor talk on this exhibition which she has curated.
The exhibition is the culmination of a residency undertaken by artists Avinash
Kumar and Sri Rama Murthy resulting in a newly commissioned digital artwork.
Both artists will be present. The exhibition will focus on sustainable museum
practices, highlight artistic interventions with artificial intelligence by the Asian
diaspora, and seek to redefine heritage and cultural objects held in public
collections.
