Experimenta India : curating and exhibiting experimental film, video and moving image in India
Abstract
Founded in 2003 by Indian experimental filmmaker Shai Heredia, Experimenta India has been nurturing an alternative community that recuperates and assembles different traces of Indian artists’ film and video, both historical and contemporary. The essay analyses this curatorial history for an examination of the dynamic experimentation with the moving image and video art in India. It interrogates resurgence of an interest in often marginalized, dismissed or elusive artistic practices, challenges of retrieving and re-membering historical works, and the politics, both material and aesthetic of the curatorial decisions that informs such historiographic work.
