About Hub India:
Hub India is a prolific exploration of the many registers that frame Contemporary art from the Indian sub-continent, a region of central importance to South Asia and increasing significance to the global world. The multi-part project which was initiated originally for Artissima to provide an overview of the eco-system comprising galleries, institutions and artists active in India, has subsequently grown into an intelligently expansive curation that encompasses several variegations. These include Maximum Minimum, an exhibition at Artissima; Classical Radical, a tripartite museum show in collaboration with Fondazione Torino Musei—that will host the project in its museum facilities, Palazzo Madama Museo Civico d’Arte Antica and MAO Museo d’Arte Orientale—and with the Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti di Torino hosting the premiere of Sama: Symbols and Gestures in Contemporary Art Practices (Italy and India vol. 1), a film on contemporary art in Italy and India presented as a moving images installation.

Featuring over 65 artists from 10 of India’s leading contemporary galleries and foremost museum, supported by the Consulate General of India, Indian Council for Cultural Relations and the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA), and in collaboration with Artissima, Fondazione Torino Musei, Emami Art, Engendered and Arthub, Hub India is poised to be the largest and most significant conversation that contemporary art from India has had with the Western world in recent times. Crossing the cultural rubicon between modern and contemporary art, these curations reject the colonial attitude of linear progress, rather use tradition as a means of innovation, a continuous re- birth. They understand contemporaneity as a telescoping of politics, civilizations and the global time we live in. The artworks can respond to the viewer’s desire to think about the multitudes of history,  time and geo-politics of the region or focus entirely on its abundant aesthetics. The works are a diverse cross-section of genre, medium and process, ranging from line-drawings and paintings to miniatures and sculptures; terracotta and metal to paper works and canvas, prints and etchings to digital and AI works.
