SUMMARY:Revisiting Midnight’s Moderns
DESCRIPTION:At the stroke of midnight in 1947\, while the world slumbered\,
  India emerged to “life and freedom”\, according to its first Prime Mi
 nister\, Jawaharlal Nehru. At the dawn of the nation-state\, and imbued wi
 th Nehru’s secular-syncretic aspirations\, the Progressive Artists’ Gr
 oup was formed in ‘Bombay’. Often considered India’s most high-profi
 le Moderns\, and celebrated (or castigated) as such\, the PAG continues to
  haunt the Indian imagination – and dominate its art auctions.\n\nBut\, 
 why this continuing obsession with these early figures of India’s awaken
 ing? Moreover\, how helpful is the PAG’s aesthetic vision today? This ta
 lk re-visits the PAG – including its second ‘wave’ of members (e.g K
 rishen Khanna) and close associates (e.g. Tyeb Mehta and Ram Kumar) in the
  context of recent exhibitions. Are we asking the right questions of the I
 ndian Moderns?\n\nThis programme is in conjunction with Shape of a Thought
 : Letters from Ram Kumar.
