The opening reception for the launch of the touring 7th Annual Erasing Borders Exhibition is Friday, April 9th from 6 - 8 pm at the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey.
The Indo-American Arts Council’s 7th Annual Erasing Borders Exhibition of Contemporary Indian art of the Diaspora features work by 25 artists whose origins can be traced to the Indian subcontinent. This group of multinational and intergenerational artists, chosen by Vijay Kumar, reflects a broad range of life experiences and aesthetic values. The artists interpret diverse subject matter—figurative, abstract and conceptual—in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, video, sculpture and installation. The resulting works often meld Indian and Western ideas about color, form and subject.

Whitney's Biennial
“WHITNEY’S BIENNIAL” OPENS AUGUST 28 FOR ONE WEEKEND ONLY
Brooklyn, NY – Thirty-Seven Artists are participating in the 2009 Whitney’s Biennial, opening at 70 Greenpoint Avenue (c.r.e.a.m. projects) on Friday August 28, 2009 from 7-11 PM, running through Sunday August 30, 2009. Gallery hours are 12-6 PM.
The 2009 Whitney’s Biennial is an interdisciplinary group exhibition, taking place in an unoccupied commercial space in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The exhibition re-envisions the ubiquitous Biennial formula by personalizing the institution, paring it down to a single person. Whitney is the proverbial Every Artist, the flesh-and-bone actor laboring under the shadows of giants. This is her Biennial.
The exhibition explores the dubious notion of the comeback and opens days before the release of Whitney Houston’s new album. In a moment when the entire world is waiting to see if and when the economy will recover, the artist is in need of a new strategy.
The participating artists are widely diverse — from those who have exhibited in major museums such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, to the graffiti artist, to the underground filmmaker, to the recent MFA graduate. All have been asked to meet on common ground, outside of the white cube, to create new works for this show.
The 2009 Whitney’s Biennial is organized by MaryKate Maher, Martha Mysko, Davida Nemeroff, Elise Rasmussen.

FIGMENT 2009
This annual participatory arts event on Governor's Island is happening from June 12 - 14, 2009. My piece, unchurned, is a participatory installation that draws upon specific aspects of traditional Hindu customs emphasizing Nature’s cyclical processes. Participants are invited to join in the creation of a rangoli drawing, filling in the colors by hand with rangoli powder, encircling a central ghee entity. Individuals will then also present offerings to the entity as it slowly transforms throughout the duration of the event.
