Contemporary Indian Art Between Local & Global

The interest of this work in investigating the role of these concepts is to portray how the dynamics of a local/global structure define and influence the art practices. The other important thing is the placement and positioning of Locals in the changed economic/political/social and cultural conditions of the world. How artists are making and responding to their local identities and global ambitions what are the defining criteria for these terms and what is their importance. The book starts with the analysis of global and local and then their role and significance in contemporary art practices of India. How the Indian art has become a Global thing and what were the political, cultural, and economic changes that started these new concepts of Globalization in Indian art. The central argument of this work is to review the concept of Global Indian art as a practice and methodology that resists the singular identity system imposed by our colonial past and permits free expression. Rather than expressing an essential difference based on origin, the research will focus on the contradictions and specifics of different subject positions.
