Joana Vasconcelos, Elemental, Art&Deal (New Delhi)
In his day Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung introduced the idea that “the creation of something new was not accomplished by our intellect, but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind playing with the objects it loves.” And that reflex to rally together objects...

Sheela Gowda, Material Space, Sculpture (Washington)
Claude Monet saw painting entirely as an act of abstrac- tion, even with his easel rooted en plein air, saying of representation, “Try to forget what objects you have before you—a tree, a house, a field. Merely think, ‘Here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow,’ and paint it...until it gives you your own impression of the scene before you.” This same sense of sight as sensation directed Sheela Gowda’s first forays into art and guided her development as she came to see art as an arrangement of colored forms on a flat surface....

Lionel Estève, God of Small Things, Art&Deal (New Delhi)
There is a light-heartedness about Brussels based artist Lionel Estèvethat permeates his work as a lightness of touch. Seeing the things we leave to the litter as part and parcel of his colour field container canvases and rock sculptures. In the acclaimed novel by Indian author Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things, she explains detritus as the detailsthat dissolve into our lives. ...

Nienke Hoogvliet, Ideas as Eco-System, DAMN (Amsterdam, Antwerp)
Studio Nienke Hoogvliet’s disruption of the textile trade modestly explores how we might change the industrial system to exist more naturally with colour. The aim is to avoid the harsh chemicals of synthetic dyes that pollute rivers, and ultimately end up as fast fashion in landfills. The thinking is about finding a more transparent supply chain for fashion....

Americans Dan Flavin and Bruce Nauman saw coloured light as equal to the promise of paint in the era of Abstract Expressionism, able to alter space by opening it up and as easily closing it down, with the flick of a switch, Flavin explains, “realising that the actual space of a room could be broken down and played with by planting illusions of real light (electric light) at crucial junctions in the room’s composition.” ...

Rinus Van Der Velde, Living a Lie, Art&Deal (New Delhi)
Drawing to define his alter ego, Belgian artist Rinus Van De Velde appears intent on subverting the original sentiments of art and language - of an image and narrative supporting one another and vice versa - by critically, casually and very comically upending them, as individual entities play off one another. ...

Abu Dhabi Art, The Commercial as Cultural, Art&Deal (New Delhi)
The eleventh edition of Abu Dhabi’s Art Fair, branded in black- and-white as ‘Abu Dhabi Art’ at pivotal points across the port city, intends, for the absence of ‘Fair’ from its title, to concentrate on the cultural – as was explained at the inaugural press conference - with mention of geographies and agendas that are cerebral rather than sales-driven.‘ArtFair’orotherwise,AbuDhabiArt,underthestewardship of Dyala Nusseibeh and lead curator Omar Kholeif, both of whom are in their third year, appears intent on replacing one 'c' word for another - the 'commercial’ for the ‘curatorial’ - in order, as Nusseibeh explains, it can better embrace the social and cultural currency of contemporary art, that turns sales into generative seeds, for the country’s own creative canon....

Kara Walker, Slave Romance, (COVER) DAMN (Amsterdam, Antwerp)
If there’s one thing you can always guarantee about the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall commissions it’s that they always provoke. Monuments tend to celebrate the good, great, but also the really bad. American artist Kara Walker addresses a whole host of critical moments of modern history in her monument, what is remembered and what is forgotten. Inverting, subverting and reclaiming, Fons Americanus is an “origin story of the African diaspora” whose contents are very much still with us even if they are often ignored or rewritten....
