Book Summary
This book is an intensive reconsideration of the very first site-specific
installation staged in India. Vivan Sundaram, one of India's most innovative
artists, located his History Project, marking fifty years of Indian
independence, in a hugely visited and popular public institution, the Victoria
Memorial and Museum in Kolkata. The artist's choice of setting was by way of a
challenge: to 'occupy' an imperial edifice and change its orientation; to
reflect India's struggle for independence and the emerging nation's stake in
modernity through an anachronistic mirror; and to engage with postcolonial
contradictions through recursive narration. It needed an artwork scaled to the
proportion of these issues and the book
