{ART & PHOTOGRAPHY}

Project Cinema City: Research Art & Documentary Practices

Project Cinema City is a set of enquiries into the labour, imagination, desire, access, spaces, locations, iconization, materiality, languages, migrant peoples, viewing conventions, and hidden processes that create the cinemas the city makes, and also the cities its cinema produces. The enquiries are then processed into productions of text, film, art and cartography. 

This show, a part of Project Cinema City, focuses on the cinema of the city of Bombay/Mumbai: its production processes and ancillary cultures; its stations of reception and recognition that run through a complex set of networks; the bazaars and streets of the city that hawk the footprints of cinema; and the city-zens’ memory of the contemporary that revolves around cinema. The Project will, in time, include cinema cities across Asia.

When | Inauguration on August 17, 2012, by Ms. Sangita Gairola, Secretary, Ministry of Culture; Chief Gurst: Javed Akhtar, poet, lyricist and scriptwriter. Show remains open till September 16, 2012

Where | National Gallery of Modern Art, Jaipur House, India Gate
