Delhi’s Geeta Kapur

Posted on September 28th, 2009 by Peter in

In India, it’s possible to feel the pulse of the universe, and in Delhi, it beats out loud.  Delhi is one of the most magnificent cities in the world, with one of its largest and most populated urban areas.  There is everything here, and sometimes everything at once.  It is an exhilarating experience to just sit and people watch for an afternoon, where the whole human drama plays itself out almost daily.  It is also a fantastic place to take a vacation, offering a view into other worlds, and there is something here to captivate everyone.  For the traveler who wants to see the city from the lap of luxury, five star hotels in Delhi are the way to go.

Offering the finest amenities available, and meeting or exceeding the highest standards in the industry, our hotels offer a spectacular level of hospitality and service.  Your stay here will delight you as much as the city will enchant you.  Waking up and falling asleep in splendidly furnished room, you’ll be able to sample a meal of exceptional taste, prepared by world class chefs, before venturing out to meet what Delhi has to offer you.  Delhi has everything, and guests of all ages will find some absolutely splendid treasures here, and usually things that cannon be bought.  The art is particularly compelling, and at this moment in India’s history, there are some traces of activity that suggest some new radical movements are in the making.  Whether the medium is painting or installation art, Delhi has spectacular artists, and extremely astute critics, such as Geeta Kapur .

She writes and curates in all forms, but is more focused on video and video installation in metropolitan India.  She has taught and lectured widely, from the University of Delhi to Cambridge and back again, and is one of the most respected contemporary critics in the field of art theory.  Her writings about the works you might see here are certainly worth looking into, and it’s a very auspicious sign to see Geeta Kapur ‘s name on the list of curators at an exhibition.  She has juried on such prestigious panels as the Venice and Dakar Biennales .  Her writing is very dense, dancing around ideas of film in a rather ethereal way, and suddenly the writing gets solid, and lands in a poetic space that is lovely and challenging, much like the art she curates.
