Jonathan Smart takes an Exhibition of NZ Artists to Mumbai

10 April, 2014

 
Jonathan Smart Gallery is proud to announce a budding international relationship with the Chatterjee and Lal Gallery of Mumbai. Artist Sanjay Theodore has proved an exciting catalyst for a considerable show of New Zealand artists, which he is curating for the Mumbai gallery.
Jonathan has facilitated the transportation and installation of work from Fiona Pardington, Rob Hood, Chris Heaphy, Nathan Pohio, Michael Parekowhai, Greta Anderson and Yuk King Tan. The exhibition, entitled The Network, will be open from Thursday the 10th of April until Saturday the 7th of June at the Chatterjee & Lal Gallery. A sister show will be held at the Jonathan Smart Gallery in Christchurch, New Zealand in February 2015, displaying a range of works from India.
This reciprocal project will be of great value to the visual arts of both countries, and will encourage ongoing cultural discourse. We are very grateful for the enthusiastic support from Mortimer Chatterjee, Tara Lal and Sanjay Theodore.
