Join Dr. Paul Sternberger and Associate Curator of Contemporary Asian Art Carol Huh for a conversation with Delhi-based artist Vivan Sundaram focused on the development of his multifaceted practice. The subject of the 2019 book, Vivan Sundaram is Not a Photographer by Ruth Rosengarten, Sundaram crisscrosses boundaries of genre and medium to produce powerful installations that are both shaped by and transcend photographic modes. How can we better understand the artist’s diverse world of methods and materials? How are the museum’s own photo holdings from Sundaram’s Re-Take of Amrita series best situated within his broader oeuvre? Following the discussion, the curators and Sundaram will take questions from the audience in this special live event.
