Right now is the most exciting time
0
1000
3000
Upravo sada je najuzbudljivije vrijeme
00:19
to see new Indian art.
1
4000
2000
za promatrati novu indijsku umjetnost.
00:21
Contemporary artists in India are having a conversation with the world
2
6000
3000
Moderni umjetnici iz Indije vode razgovore sa svijetom
00:24
like never before.
3
9000
2000
kao nikad prije.
00:26
I thought it might be interesting, even for the many long-time
4
11000
2000
Pomislio sam kako bi bilo zanimljivo, čak i mnogim dugogodišnjim
00:28
collectors here with us at TED, local collectors,
5
13000
3000
kolekcionarima ovdje s nama na TED-u, lokalnim kolekcionarima,
00:31
to have an outside view of 10 young Indian artists
6
16000
4000
da dobiju vanjski pogled na 10 mladih indijskih umjetnika
00:35
I wish everyone at TED to know.
7
20000
2000
za koje bi volio da ih svi na TED-u znaju.
00:37
The first is Bharti Kher.
8
22000
3000
Prva je Bharti Kher.
00:40
The central motif of Bharti's practice
9
25000
2000
Središnji motiv Bhartijeve privatne prakse
00:42
is the ready-made store-bought bindi
10
27000
3000
je već napravljena točkica koja se može kupiti u trgovini
00:45
that untold millions of Indian women apply to their foreheads,
11
30000
3000
a koju bezmjerni milijuni indijki nanose na svoja čela,
00:48
every day, in an act closely associated with
12
33000
2000
svaki dan, u činu koji je tijesno povezan s
00:50
the institution of marriage.
13
35000
3000
institucijom braka.
00:53
But originally the significance of the bindi
14
38000
2000
Ali izvorno važnost točkice
00:55
is to symbolize the third eye
15
40000
3000
jest simbol trećeg oka
00:58
between the spiritual world and the religious world.
16
43000
3000
između duhovnog svijeta i religioznog svijeta.
01:01
Bharti seeks to liberate this everyday cliche, as she calls it,
17
46000
3000
Bharti je u potrazi za oslobođenjem svakodnevnog klišeja, kao što to ona naziva,
01:04
by exploding it into something spectacular.
18
49000
5000
pretvarajući ga pomoću eksplozije u nešto spektakularno.
01:09
She also creates life-size fiberglass sculptures, often of animals,
19
54000
3000
Ona ujedno stvara skulpture od staklenih vlakana u životnoj veličini, često životinje,
01:12
which she then completely covers in bindis,
20
57000
4000
koje ona zatim potpuno prekrije točkicama,
01:16
often with potent symbolism.
21
61000
2000
često s moćnim simbolizmom.
01:18
She says she first got started with
22
63000
2000
Kaže kako je prvi put započela s
01:20
10 packets of bindis,
23
65000
2000
10 paketića točkica,
01:22
and then wondered what she could do with 10 thousand.
24
67000
3000
i zatim se pitala što bi mogla učiniti s 10 tisuća.
01:27
Our next artist, Balasubramaniam,
25
72000
2000
Naš idući umjetnik, Balasubramaniam,
01:29
really stands at the crossroads of sculpture, painting and installation,
26
74000
3000
se doista nalazi na raskrižju skulpture, slikanja i instalacije,
01:32
working wonders with fiberglass.
27
77000
3000
radeći čuda sa staklenim vlaknima.
01:35
Since Bala himself will be speaking at TED
28
80000
2000
Kako će Bala govoriti na TED-u
01:37
I won't spend too much time on him here today,
29
82000
2000
neću potrošiti previše vremena na njega danas ovdje,
01:39
except to say that he really succeeds
30
84000
2000
osim što ću reći da uistinu uspijeva
01:41
at making the invisible visible.
31
86000
3000
učiniti nevidljivo vidljivim.
01:47
Brooklyn-based Chitra Ganesh
32
92000
2000
Chitra Ganesh iz Brooklyna
01:49
is known for her digital collages,
33
94000
2000
je poznata po svojim digitalnim kolažima,
01:51
using Indian comic books called amar chitra kathas
34
96000
4000
koristeći indijske stripove zvane amar chitra kathas
01:55
as her primary source material.
35
100000
2000
kao njezin primarni izvor materijala.
01:57
These comics are a fundamental way
36
102000
2000
Ovi stripovi su osnovni način
01:59
that children, especially in the diaspora,
37
104000
2000
putem kojeg djeca, posebno u dijaspori
02:01
learn their religious and mythological folk tales.
38
106000
4000
uče o svojim religijskim i mitologijskim narodnim pričama.
02:05
I, for one, was steeped in these.
39
110000
2000
Ja sam uronio u njih.
02:07
Chitra basically remixes and re-titles
40
112000
3000
Chitra u osnovi remiksa i ponovno naslovljuje
02:10
these iconic images
41
115000
2000
te ikonske prikaze
02:12
to tease out some of the sexual and gender politics
42
117000
4000
kako bi izmamila van neke od seksualnih i spolnih politika
02:16
embedded in these deeply influential comics.
43
121000
2000
koje su ukorijenjene u ovim duboko utjecajnim stripovima.
02:18
And she uses this vocabulary in her installation work as well.
44
123000
4000
I ona također upotrijebljava ovaj rječnik u njezinom radu s instalacijama.
02:24
Jitish Kallat successfully practices across photography,
45
129000
4000
Jitish Kallat uspješno manevrira između fotografije,
02:28
sculpture, painting and installation.
46
133000
3000
skulpture, slikanja i instalacije.
02:31
As you can see, he's heavily influenced
47
136000
2000
Kao što možete vidjeti, on je pod velikim utjecajem
02:33
by graffiti and street art,
48
138000
2000
grafita i ulične umjetnosti.
02:35
and his home city of Mumbai is an ever-present element in his work.
49
140000
3000
A njegov dom, grad Mumbai je uvijek prisutan element u njegovom radu.
02:38
He really captures that sense of density
50
143000
3000
On doista uhvati taj osjećaj gustoće
02:41
and energy which really characterizes modern urban Bombay.
51
146000
5000
i energije koja doista karakterizira moderan urban Bombay.
02:46
He also creates phantasmagoric sculptures
52
151000
2000
On ujedno stvara fantazmagorijske skulpture
02:48
made of bones from cast resin.
53
153000
3000
napravljene od kostiju iz gipsane smole.
02:51
Here he envisions the carcass
54
156000
2000
Ovdje on zamišlja mrcinu
02:53
of an autorickshaw he once witnessed burning in a riot.
55
158000
4000
od autorikše koju je jednom vidio kako gori tijekom pobune.
02:57
This next artist, N.S. Harsha,
56
162000
2000
Ovaj slijedeći umjetnik, N.S. Harsha
02:59
actually has a studio right here in Mysore.
57
164000
3000
zapravo ima studio ovdje gore u Mysoreu.
03:02
He's putting a contemporary spin on the miniature tradition.
58
167000
3000
On stavlja moderni zaokret na minijaturnu tradiciju.
03:05
He creates these fine, delicate images
59
170000
3000
On stvara te fine, delikatne slike
03:08
which he then repeats on a massive scale.
60
173000
2000
koje zatim ponavlja na masivnoj skali.
03:12
He uses scale to more and more spectacular effect,
61
177000
3000
On koristi skalu za sve veći i veći spektakularni efekt,
03:15
whether on the roof of a temple in Singapore,
62
180000
4000
bilo da je to na krovu hrama u Singapuru,
03:19
or in his increasingly ambitious installation work,
63
184000
2000
ili u njegovom sve ambicioznijem instalacijskom radu,
03:21
here with 192 functioning sewing machines,
64
186000
3000
ovdje sa 192 funkcionirajuće mašine za šivanje,
03:24
fabricating the flags of every member of the United Nations.
65
189000
4000
šivajući zastave svake članice Ujedinjenih Naroda.
03:30
Mumbai-based Dhruvi Acharya
66
195000
2000
Dhruvi Acharya iz Mumbaija
03:32
builds on her love of comic books and street art
67
197000
2000
gradi na svojoj ljubavi prema stripovima i uličnoj umjetnosti
03:34
to comment on the roles and expectations
68
199000
2000
kako bi komentirala uloge i očekivanja
03:36
of modern Indian women.
69
201000
3000
modernih Indijki.
03:39
She too mines the rich source material of amar chitra kathas,
70
204000
3000
I ona isto rudari u potrazi za bogatim materijalom izvora iz amar chitra kathasa,
03:42
but in a very different way than Chitra Ganesh.
71
207000
3000
ali na vrlo različit način nego Chitra Ganesh.
03:45
In this particular work, she actually strips out the images
72
210000
3000
U ovom posebnom radu, ona doslovno skida slike
03:48
and leaves the actual text
73
213000
2000
i ostavlja tekst
03:50
to reveal something previously unseen, and provocative.
74
215000
4000
kako bi otkrila nešto prije neviđeno, i provokativno.
03:56
Raqib Shaw is Kolkata-born,
75
221000
2000
Raqib Shaw je rođen u Kalkuti,
03:58
Kashmir-raised,
76
223000
2000
odrastao u Kashmiru,
04:00
and London-trained.
77
225000
2000
i izučen u Londonu.
04:02
He too is reinventing the miniature tradition.
78
227000
3000
On isto tako ponovno osmišlja minijaturnu tradiciju.
04:05
He creates these opulent tableaus inspired by Hieronymus Bosch,
79
230000
4000
On stvara te bogate grafičke prikaze inspirirane Hieronymus Boschom,
04:09
but also by the Kashmiri textiles of his youth.
80
234000
3000
ali isto tako i tkaninama Kashmira iz svoje mladosti.
04:12
He actually applies metallic industrial paints to his work
81
237000
4000
On zapravo nanosi metalne inustrijske boje na svoje radove
04:16
using porcupine quills to get this rich detailed effect.
82
241000
4000
koristeći kistove od dikobraza kako bi istaknuo taj bogati efekt detalja.
04:23
I'm kind of cheating with this next artist
83
248000
2000
Na neki način varam s idućim umjetnikom
04:25
since Raqs Media Collective are really
84
250000
2000
jer Raqs Media Collective su zapravo
04:27
three artists working together.
85
252000
2000
tri umjetnika koji rade zajedno.
04:29
Raqs are probably the foremost practitioners
86
254000
2000
Raqs su vjerojatno ponaprije provoditelji
04:31
of multimedia art in India today,
87
256000
2000
multimedijalne umjetnosti u Indiji danas,
04:33
working across photography, video and installation.
88
258000
4000
radeći s fotografijom, videom i instalacijom.
04:37
They frequently explore themes of globalization and urbanization,
89
262000
3000
Oni često istražuju teme globalizacije i urbanizacije,
04:40
and their home of Delhi is a frequent element in their work.
90
265000
3000
i njihov dom, Delhi je čest element u njihovim radovima.
04:43
Here, they invite the viewer to analyze a crime
91
268000
4000
Ovdje, pozivaju gledatelja da analiziraju zločin
04:47
looking at evidence and clues embedded
92
272000
2000
gledajući dokaze i tragove koji su ugrađeni
04:49
in five narratives on these five different screens,
93
274000
2000
u pet priča na pet različitih ekrana,
04:51
in which the city itself may have been the culprit.
94
276000
3000
u kojima, grad sam po sebi je moguć počinitelj.
04:56
This next artist is probably the alpha male
95
281000
2000
Ovaj sljedeći umjetnik je vjerojatno alfa muškarac
04:58
of contemporary Indian art, Subodh Gupta.
96
283000
3000
moderne indijske umjetnosti, Subodh Gupta.
05:01
He was first known for creating giant photo-realistic canvases,
97
286000
4000
On je prepoznat po stvaranju ogromnih foto-realističnih platna,
05:05
paintings of everyday objects,
98
290000
2000
slika svakodnevnih predmeta,
05:07
the stainless steel kitchen vessels and tiffin containers
99
292000
3000
kuhinjskog posuđa od nehrđajućeg čelika i spremnika za duge ručkove
05:10
known to every Indian.
100
295000
3000
poznatih svakom Indijcu.
05:13
He celebrates these local and mundane objects globally,
101
298000
3000
On slavi te lokalne i svakodnevne predmete globalno,
05:16
and on a grander and grander scale,
102
301000
2000
i na sve većoj i većoj skali,
05:18
by incorporating them into ever more colossal
103
303000
3000
inkorporirajući ih u sve kolosalnije
05:21
sculptures and installations.
104
306000
3000
skulpture i instalacije.
05:27
And finally number 10, last and certainly not least,
105
312000
3000
I naposljetku broj 10, posljednji ali ne i namanje važan,
05:30
Ranjani Shettar,
106
315000
2000
Ranjani Shettar,
05:32
who lives and works here in the state of Karnataka,
107
317000
2000
koja živi i radi ovdje u državi Karnataki,
05:34
creates ethereal sculptures and installations
108
319000
2000
kreirajući eterične skulpture i instalacije
05:36
that really marry the organic to the industrial,
109
321000
3000
koje spajaju organsko i industrijsko,
05:39
and brings, like Subodh, the local global.
110
324000
3000
i donose, poput Subodha, lokalno globalnome.
05:42
These are actually wires wrapped in muslin
111
327000
3000
Ovo su zapravo žice umotane u muslin
05:45
and steeped in vegetable dye.
112
330000
2000
i uronjene u boju od povrća.
05:47
And she arranges them so that the viewer
113
332000
2000
I organizira ih tako da promatrač
05:49
actually has to navigate through the space,
114
334000
2000
zapravo mora navigirati kroz prostor,
05:51
and interact with the objects.
115
336000
2000
i komunicirati s predmetima.
05:53
And light and shadow are a very important part of her work.
116
338000
3000
A svjetlo i sjena su veoma važni dijelovi njezinog rada.
05:56
She also explores themes of consumerism,
117
341000
2000
Ona isto tako istražuje teme konzumerizma,
05:58
and the environment, such as in this work,
118
343000
2000
i okoliša, kao u ovom radu,
06:00
where these basket-like objects look organic and woven,
119
345000
3000
gdje ovi predmeti u obliku košara izgledaju organski i tkani,
06:03
and are woven,
120
348000
2000
i jesu istkani,
06:05
but with the strips of steel, salvaged from cars
121
350000
3000
ali s trakama čelika, izvučenih iz automobila
06:08
that she found in a Bangalore junkyard.
122
353000
4000
koje je pronašla na odlagalištu otpada u Bangaloreu.
06:13
10 artists, six minutes, I know that was a lot to take in.
123
358000
3000
10 umjetnika, šest minuta, znam da je to mnogo za upiti.
06:16
But I can only hope I've whet your appetite
124
361000
2000
Ali mogu se samo nadati da sam vam potaknuo apetit
06:18
to go out and see and learn more
125
363000
2000
da izađete i vidite i naučite više
06:20
about the amazing things that are happening in art in India today.
126
365000
3000
o nevjerojatnim stvarima koje se događaju u umjetnosti i Indiji danas.
06:23
Thank you very much for looking and listening.
127
368000
3000
Puno vam hvala što ste gledali i slušali.
06:26
