In A Fragile Inheritance Saloni Mathur investigates the work of two
seminal figures from the global South: the New Delhi-based critic
and curator Geeta Kapur and contemporary multimedia artist Vivan
Sundaram. Examining their written and visual works over the past
fifty years, Mathur illuminates how her protagonists' political and
aesthetic commitments intersect and foreground uncertainty,
difficulty, conflict, and contradiction. This book presents new
understandings of the culture and politics of decolonization and
the role of non-Western aesthetic avant-gardes within the
discourses of contemporary art. Through skillful interpretation of
Sundaram's and Kapur's practices, Mathur demonstrates how received
notions of mainstream art history may be investigated and subjected
to creative redefinition. Her scholarly methodology offers an
impassioned model of critical aesthetics and advances a radical
understanding of art and politics in our time.
