A multimedia installation by Nitin Mukul and Shelly Bahl India Habitat Centre | Experimental Arts Gallery | Dec. 14-20, 2007 | New Delhi Opening reception on Friday December 14th, 6pm-9pm The India Habitat Centre presents House of the Rising Sun, a collaborative multimedia installation that focuses on two architectural environments, a former British colonial era courthouse (now a home) and a post-independence modernist house in Delhi, India. Through the mediums of video, photography, painting, dance, and sound, the artists conduct an interrogation into how these hybrid structures connote colonial and post-colonial histories, as well as how their own trans-cultural experiences are informed by these spaces. Nitin Mukul is a visual artist living and working in Delhi. He was included in the landmark exhibition of South Asian art Fatal Love at the Queens Museum of Art in NYC in 2005, and has been reviewed in The New York Times and Art India magazine. He has upcoming shows with Nature Morte and a solo exhibition in NYC in 2008. Shelly Bahl is a visual and media artist born in Benares, India, and based in Toronto and NYC. Her interdisciplinary work in drawing, painting, sculpture/ installation, photography and video, has appeared in a number of solo and group exhibitions in North America and internationally over the past 14 years.
