indian art

hi!
this is ravi shekhar from mumbai, india.

i am a person with a camera, intrested in art photography and film making. i made a film on new media artist Baiju Parthan.
the name of the film is- 'BLUR-THE BAIJU PARTHAN SHOW'
Baiju is a new media artist and we were working together in The Illustrated Weekly of India. he was working there as an illustrater and i was a photo-journalist. that was more than 10 years ago. during his show named-BLUR, i oofer him to do an interview on video. he agreed and it took two long year to finish the work as a video film. the film was the part of the film festival at the Hacienda art gallery in 2004. it was a very unique kind of film festival, rare for india where films on visual art were screened. the film was recieved well by the audience. because it was the oly film which broke the boundries of monotonous style of indian documentries. the result made be intrested in making more films.
it took me a year to do my next film. Name of my next film is- 'HIMMAT SHAH-MESSENGER OF THE FREE ZONE'
Himmat Shah, now 73, is a sculptor. he was based in delhi and now moved to jaipur.
he has done work in terracotta and bronze. the film has art criticic Geeta kapoor and ace photographer Raghu Rai talking about the life and practice of Himmat.
my third film is also on Himmat. this is rather more experimental. name of the film is 'CLAY'. it is the film showing more than 50 terracotta work of the artist which was so delicate to handle. the film provides a rare chance to view the work at one time.
i wish to continue writing about the art practices and my personal account of wilnessing the ever growing art scene in india.
please feel free to write to me or just say hello...
enjoy
