Bankable ideas

Two years ago, the Golden Jubilee Park was the site of a redevelopment programme for an excitable, pre-CWG Delhi government. It wanted to create a biodiversity park there after shun­ting out four lakh people from the Yamuna Pushta colony. Post-CWG, it has fallen off the map of Delhi’s popular consciousness.

The Park will now be the loc­ation of the Yamuna-Elbe project, a public art exhibition, to be held sim­ul­taneously in Delhi and Hamburg. The project is a joint initiative of the Government of Delhi, the City of Hamburg, the Year of Germany in India and the Goethe Institut. It brings together artists from both countries: Germans Nana Petzet and Jochen Lampert Clegg, and Indians Gigi Scaria, Sheba Chhachhi, Asim Waqif and Atul Bhalla. All of the Indian artists have been chosen for their long engagement with the city in general, and the Yamuna in particular. The festival is curated by artist and Toxics Link director Ravi Agarwal in Delhi, and artist-curator Till Krause in Hamburg.

The agony of Yama's sister

By Rocky Thongam

River Yamuna is fed up with human apathy. In these 'media -savvy times' the tormented river teams up with her counterpart Elbe in Germany to lodge her protest with the citizens of the Capital.

Yami or Yamuna, sister of Yama, the God of death, has been dying for long excruciatingly. The river takes care of 70% of Delhi's water demands and keeps alive around 57 million people who depend on her for various reasons. Not to mention the millions whose souls it frees from the torments of death on its banks. In return the city dumps almost 58% of its waste into the highly venerated river.

A cultural extravaganza on the banks of Yamuna

By Vaishali Bhambri

The public art and outreach project with the Yamuna as its muse is being organised in collaboration with Hamburg city, the Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan in the Capital, and the Delhi Government and is part of the “Germany and India 2011-2012: Infinite Opportunities” project.

The exhibition is being co-curated by artists Ravi Agarwal and Till Krause on the banks of the Yamuna in the Capital and hopes to give viewers a true “river experience”, through an extensive education programme by inviting schools, youth and the people of Delhi to the river and to encourage artistic exchange between top Indian and German artists.

Gradual and spatial

Atul-Bhalla.jpg

By Shailaja Tripathi

So, what do we have in the name of public art? A few murals adorning State-owned structures, sculptures in the compounds of a few ministry offices and statues of politicians in public spaces, which can be easily counted on the fingers. Whatever happened to the recommendation made by former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru that one per cent of the construction cost of every building should be reserved for art?
