TAP SHOWCASE for February 2021: AN EXCLUSIVE CURATION OF ARTWORKS BY SELECTED ARTISTS OF PARTNER GALLERIES
TREE: Nature and Imagination, curated by Mitch Crites & Minhaaz Mazumdar
Trees, silent sentinels on the flailing earth of today. Trees, steadfast companions of humans in this journey of life. Trees, the lungs of Mother Gaia. This show explores the versatility of trees both as form and as muse for artists across time and space. Artists’ reactions to trees, their understanding of the profoundly symbiotic and yet also, the deeply conflicted relationship between humans and trees has made for some wonderful art. We invite you to send us four images of works of art inspired by trees in your collection, of which two are going to be selected for the show. We look forward to putting together a beautiful and meaningful show that will be an ode to trees, our companions in the journey of life.

Art and Obscenity in India. In plural India, the right  to freedom of expression, including artistic expression, is guaranteed constitutionally as a fundamental right. What then is a limitation on art, a crossing of the line, in a way? In this important conversation, Akhil Sibal, senior advocate, Supreme Court, and Dr Arshiya Sethi, managing trustee, Kri Foundation look at art and obscenity; to understand  how the law looks at "difficult art", art that may appear to be crossing the line. They will discuss and suggest ways of looking, and the need for the State to look away, in determining obscenity.
