The group show at India International Centre seeks to act as a catalyst for recognising young talent and individuality. On display will be selected works from 10 artists shortlisted from over 400 applicants, one of whom shall be awarded with 2 Lakhs INR. This group show will be held from 19th September until 29th September and explores the ever-changing dynamics of identity, alienation, history and culture. Additionally, MASH shall host a critique session with Khoj Studios who have come on board as the Knowledge Partner. The exhibition will feature Deepak Kumar, M. Thamshangpha, Pahul Singh, Roshan Vinod Anvekar, Sabiha Dohadwala, Sanayvi Naik, Sarban Chowdhry, Sayantan Samanta, Sibdas Sengupta, and Tahsin Akhtar. Though evidently individual in approach, collectively, these young artists represent a common vision of transforming the landscape of Indian Contemporary Art and our perception of the same.
MASH founder, art collector and philanthropist, Shalini Passi adds, “The Indian artscape is rapidly changing and ever expanding with an influx of many proficient artists every year. This is a substantially vital change which requires equal support from Patrons, art collectors, curators and mentors alike. MASH Awards 2022 is a step in the right direction to justify the same”.
