------------------------------------------------------------------------- Latika Katt has had solo and joint exhibitions in India and abroad and is recognized as one of India's leading artists. Honoured and awarded by the Lalit Kala Akademi Katt has travelled across the world on account of her art camps, talks and other symposia. Not only has she been a part of the administration of premier art and culture institutes, she has also had a long teaching career. Her work features in collections in the National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai and the Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi, among others. In the early works of Latika Katt, the dematerialized materialization is very prominent. It also raises questions on the visual and the illusionist, the real and the imaginary. Latika's works mainly represent her ideology of space and her space, it questions and contradicts the norms of the world and revolves around the true being. The sculpture strategy in the 'Decay and Growth' series of her works deals mainly with the decay of mass correlating the paradoxical position. Abstraction from matter leads into matter. Latika's mode of reaching out to touching and modeling involves the pushing, digging, stretching scribbling and anything through which she can leave a mark of her identity. The intention of the artist is to create a multi-dimensional, imaginative world that goes far beyond the obvious. The Rodin like ruggedness and energy in her colossal Nehru for Jawahar Bhavan, New Delhi and the work in progress Indira Gandhi is a testimony to her command over the medium and her technical prowess. Banaras, the city of her adoption, is reflected in her work in forms and themes hardly ever attempted by any sculptor. In Latika's universe nothing is too insignificant for her keen eyes and dexterous hands.

The young performer has already showcased his work extensively across Japan, Europe, and Indonesia, and this is his first visit to India. KENTARO!! sprints through the present, evoking radically divergent moods that switch rapidly between gentleness and roughness, friendship and loneliness, amity and abhorrence, proximity and distance.

This March, Asia Society proudly celebrates the opening of its new centre building in Hong Kong, and the forthcoming new centre building opening in Texas in April. The new Hong Kong Centre opened on March 9, 2012, in a Former Explosives Magazine, and combines new construction with four former military buildings. Three of these buildings are listed as Grade 1 Historic Buildings and are part of the Former Explosives Magazine Compound. The compound was an integral part of the British military lands and as one of the few remaining sites, it is an important tangible link to Hong Kong’s past. The new centre has been designed by Tod Williams & Billie Tsien. Learn more about the Grand Opening celebrations here. The new Texas Centre building combines contemporary international design with an understated elegance and serenity. Its 39,000 square feet is spread over two stories and basement, resulting in a low-slung profile that fits comfortably into its residential surroundings. It is designed by Japan-born, Harvard-educated Yoshio Taniguchi, who was responsible for the redesign of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The Grand Opening is set for April 12-15, 2012. In an article published by the New York Times, Robin Pogrebin notes that in a time of global economic decline, Asia Society's expansion shows that interacting with Asia is no longer simply a politically correct pleasantry, but a necessity. Pogrebin says, “Each center has art galleries, lecture halls, meeting spaces and offices. Both are opening with exhibitions that pay tribute to Asia Society’s founding with selections of traditional Asian art from its permanent collection.”The article quotes Asia Society’s President, Vishakha Desai, who said, “Because the world has changed, so has Asia Society’s mission. Where once the organization was focused on explaining Asia to Americans, now it emphasizes strengthening partnerships in areas like culture, business, public policy and education, not only between Asians and Americans but among Asians themselves…”
