Raqs Media Collective "There has Been a Change of Plan"



Raqs media collective:
slideshow video of Raqs Media Collective's first solo exhibition in Delhi "There has been a Change of Plan". the exhibition was held at Gallery Nature Morte.19/08/2006. Raqs Media Collective have exhibited in many of the larger international arts festivals/biennales since around 1992, but this was the first solo exhibition of their work in Delhi.
"Raqs Media Collective was formed in 1992 by independent media practitioners Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica Narula and Shuddhabrata Sengupta. Based in Delhi, their work engages with urban spaces and global circuits, persistently welding a sharp, edgily contemporary sense of what it means to lay claim to the world from the streets of Delhi. At the same time, Raqs articulates an intimately lived relationship with myths and histories of diverse provenances. Raqs sees its work as opening out a series of investigations with image, sound, software, objects, performance, print, text and lately, curation, that straddle different (and changing) affective and aesthetic registers, expressing an imaginative unpacking of questions of identity and location, a deep ambivalence towards modernity and a quiet but consistent critique of the operations of power and property."
