Book Summary
About the Book: Productive Failure : Writing Queer Transnational South Asian Art
Histories
This title sets out to write new transnational South Asian art histories - to
make visible histories of artworks that remain marginalised within the
discipline of art history. However, this is done through a deliberate productive
failure - specifically, by not upholding the strictly genealogical approach that
is regularly assumed for South Asian art histories. For instance, one chapter
explores the abstract work of Cy Twombly and Natvar Bhavsar. The author examines
whiteness, the invisible ground upon which racialized art histories often pivot,
as a fraught yet productive site for writing art history. This
