SUMMARY:Do Hands Have a Chance? K.G. Subramanyan and Design
DESCRIPTION:K.G. Subramanyan (1924–2016) was a force of nature\, and over a six-decade career in art\, craft and design—both as a practitioner and educator—his impact on the cultural sphere has been immense. On the eve of his birth centenary\, C&L Design presents Do Hands Have a Chance? — an experimental two-part exhibition\, the first of many commemorative events planned across the country in the year to come. \nThe exhibition includes a selection of Subramanyan’s work with textiles\, books and toys\, and views his practice through a design-historical lens.\nIn 1958\, the Weavers’ Service Centre opened at Opera House—a five-minute walk from 47-A—where\, in its early stages\, Subramanyan worked for one and half years. The exhibition at 47-A includes newly discovered material comprising some of his designs done for the Centre.\nIn 1962\, when he returned to teach at the MS University in Baroda\, Subramanyan was instrumental in founding the Fine Arts Faculty’s annual fair\, for which he designed the first of his toys\, a prime example of his desire to collapse boundaries between activities that promoted working with one’s hands. It was also for the fairs that Subramanyan began to experiment with illustrations for books\, often aimed at children\, a facet of his practice that would reveal itself more forcefully in the decades to come. \nIn June 2023\, an exhibition of the artist’s work at Chatterjee & Lal’s Colaba gallery will display objects drawn from similar sources but\, this time\, curated from an art-historical perspective. \nThe purpose: to celebrate the pioneering ideas of Subramanyan around the production\, the dissemination and the consumption of art\, craft and design in India. \nC&L Design\, Chatterjee & Lal\, Seagull Foundation for the Arts.

SUMMARY:K.G. Subramanyan: His Art As Language
DESCRIPTION:This is the second of a two-part exhibition exploring the practice of K.G. Subramanyan (1924 – 2016). It takes place on the eve of his centenary birth year. The selection of objects at Chatterjee & Lal has been determined by two key influences in Subramanyan’s career: his training at Santiniketan during the 1940s and his engagement with textiles whilst employed at the Weavers’ Service Centre between 1958 – 1960. \nThe artist had studied for a year in the UK in the mid 1950s and during this period had fallen under the spell of the teachings of art historian E.H. Gombrich. Gombrich’s ideas around art\, especially his use of the analogy of art as language\, made a deep and lasting impact on the young Subramanyan. The manner in which art and design is defined by an ability to communicate between practitioner and audience is a common thread that runs right through the works selected for this exhibition\, and provides the prompt for its title. \nChatterjee & Lal and Seagull Foundation for the Arts.
