From the fluttering fabric of a tent, to the blurred motion of the
potter's wheel, to the rhythm of a horse puppet's wooden
hooves-these scenes make up a set of mid-1980s art exhibitions as
part of the U.S. Festival of India. The festival was conceived at a
meeting between Indira Gandhi and Ronald Reagan to strengthen
relations between the two countries at a time of late Cold War
tensions and global economic change, when America's image of India
was as a place of desperate poverty and spectacular fantasy.
Displaying Time unpacks the intimate, small-scale durations of time
at work in the gallery from the transformation of clay into ceramic
to the one-on-one, personal encounters between museum visitors and
artists. Using extensive archival research and interviews with
artists, curators, diplomats, and visitors, Rebecca Brown analyzes
a selection of museum shows that were part of the Festival of India
to unfurl new exhibitionary modes: the time of transformation, of
interruption, of potential and the future, as well as the
contemporary and the now.
