Horn Please: Narratives in Contemporary Indian Art
Kuntsmuseum Bern, Switzerland
September 21, 2007 – January 6, 2008
 
India has had a strong tradition of figurative, narrative painting that goes back several decades. With the exhibition, Horn Please, at Kunstmusem Bern, Switzerland, curators Bernhard Fibicher and Suman Gopinath attempt to follow the journey of the narrative over three decades, from the 1980s to the present, by tracing certain ‘critical’ moments in Indian art – moments of both assimilation and intervention – through which a particular kind of narrative was constructed.
