The India Art Festival took place from the 14th till the 17th of January at the National Stadium in New Delhi. Now don’t ask me what’s the difference between this and the other Art Fair / Festival that you might have heard of. On the one hand, it’s great that artists get promoted all over the place, on the other, it can be confusing to the new-to-art person.
I was invited as part of the “media”. The only reason I went was to see if there was possibility to photograph any #EyesForStreetStyle So I went first to just check the place out. Thankfully I didn’t carry my camera – there was no scope whatsoever. So I walked around, stopping at almost every alternate “booth”, asking for permission to photograph the piece that had caught my eye and within 30 minutes, I was out. There were some interesting pieces on display – most booths were being paid for by art galleries, not individual artists and there were two booths selling art supplies. One of them screaming about “buy one get two free” etc. It wasn’t the most ideal situation to calmly enjoy the art on display.
