SAHMAT exhibition attacked!
Protest meeting at 11 am on 25th August, at SAHMAT!
SAHMAT had organized an exhibition of reproductions of eminent artist
M.F. Husain's works on 22nd, 23rd and 24th August 2008, to coincide
with the India Art Summit at Pragati Maidan, Delhi which had advised
galleries not to show his work at their art fair. The exhibition, held
in a shamiana outside the SAHMAT office, was vandalised by 8 to 10
miscreants on Sunday, 24th August, at 3.30 pm. The channel ETV, whose
crew was present, has recorded the entire episode. The vandals ran
away after destroying the framed photographs and prints, a television
set, a DVD player and furniture. Artist Arpana Caur and Anil Chandra,
SAHMAT member, were witnesses to the episode.
SAHMAT had informed the police in advance, on 20th August, about the
exhibition to be held.
In protest against the vandalism and attack on SAHMAT, the exhibition
is being extended, in 'as-is' condition, for a day – till 25th August.
None of the material from the vandalised exhibition is being handed
over to the police till the 25th. There will also be a meeting to
protest this cowardly attack and against the attempt to impose a
narrow, majoritarian view of our culture, at the venue of the
exhibition, on Monday, 25th August, at 11 am
