Art Tour - April at Phoenix Marketcity Chennai

15th April 2017, 12.pm to 9.pm

Phoenix Marketcity Chennai will be showcasing a monthly series of Art Tour from February onwards. In association with Ashvita Arts and events, the Art Tour series is aimed to revive the art scene in Chennai and give an insight about the art installations that are there in the mall.

About the series: Chennai’s art lovers are well-exposed to the medium of sculpture due to the number of public sculptures dotting the city. Our art tour will start with the one that focuses on the sculptures in the mall which are significantly different from the language and intent of public sculpture. The tour will touch upon the transition in terms of theme (increasing number of political and social subjects) and materials occurring within contemporary sculpture (bronze to fibre glass and found objects) and also introduce participants to the idea of installations and site specific works. 

Proposed art works to be covered: Gigi Scaria, LN Tallur, Ravinder Reddy, Sunil Gawde, Thukral and Tagra, Philippe Murphy, Arunkumar HG, TVSanthosh, Anjum Singh, Vishal K Dar.

About the art curator: Vaishnavi Ramanathan studied Art History at Chitrakala Parishat, Bangalore (2006) and subsequently studied curation at University of Essex as part of the Charles Wallace Scholarship. She is currently a researcher and curator at Piramal Art Foundation and is also a guest lecturer in Art History at Government College of Fine Arts, Chennai.
