2010年,在上海雙年展的架構下,“西天中土”計劃 以“時• 地• 戲:印中當代藝術展”和“印中社會思想對話”兩種形態與公眾見面。藝術展部分:包括十位印度藝術家/團和五位中國藝術家/團的新作品;社會思想對話:邀請了阿希斯•南迪、帕薩•查特傑、杜贊 奇、霍米•巴巴、特賈斯維莉• 尼南賈納、迪佩什•查卡拉巴提、薩拉•馬哈拉吉七位世界級的印裔學者,來滬與港、台、大陸思想界和藝術界進行深入對 話,開啟了印中當代思想界的互動,被譽為“自上世紀20年代泰戈爾訪華以來最重要的大規模中印思想交流活動”。

“西天中土”的團隊於2011年3月再次走訪印度德里、孟買、班加羅爾、加爾各答四個城市,帶了許多問題給去年來訪的朋友,並在他們的生活空間裡進一步體會孕育他們思想的土壤。訪問 的結果是,決定今年以“你不屬於”為題的影展+論壇,以電影為媒介,來推進社會思想交流。

11月25日下午三點,由印度當代著名電影理論家阿希什•拉賈德雅克薩(Ashish Rajadhyaksha)策劃的“你不屬於:印度電影的過去與未來”的影展在北京伊比利亞當代藝術中心揭幕;三十餘部印度獨立電影和十多場“印中電影與社會思想對話”的論壇將在伊比利亞當代藝術中心、北京電影學院和尤 倫斯當代藝術中心舉行。來自印度的十餘位思想者和導演將與中國同道展開多層面的交流,以此促進中國電影理論的更新,以及電影理論和社會思想之間的互動。隨後上海、廣州、昆明站的展映和討論也將相繼開場。

West Heavens is an initiative for fostering ties between India and China through collaborations in art and social thought. In 2010, West Heavens presented a major art exhibition alongside a series of intellectual forums, as the first step of a series of cultural engagements between China and India (historically referred to as the West Heavens in China). Both the Art Exhibition and India-China Summit on Social Thought were highly acclaimed by both the public and experts.

“You Don't Belong: Pasts and Futures of Indian Cinema” is the upcoming project for 2011. A season of films plus forums on film theory and social thought, showcasing a full range of recent Indian cinema, specially selected and assembled to make an argument about the moving image in India. The selection includes feature-length fiction films, documentaries and experimental video. For this occasion we are also publishing a Reader that includes newly translated writings selected from 30 years of writing on Indian cinema.

The film season opens on Friday, November 25th at the Iberia Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing. Over 30 independent films and a series of forums on film and social thought titled "India-China Dialogue on Film and Social Thought" will take place at: The Iberia Center, the Beijing Film Academy, and Ullens Center for Contemporary Art.

West Heavens at 4th Guangzhou Triennial: Memories of Cinema廣州三年展中的“從西天到中土”:電影的記憶
September 22 - November 27 2011
Guangdong Museum of Art, Guangzhou

Artists: Mani Kaul(1942-2011)/Ranbir Singh Kaleka
West Heavens at 4th Guangzhou Triennial:Memories of Cinema

The special unit curated by West Heavens Project for the 4th Guangzhou Triennial brought the films by the past leading Indian avant garde filmmaker Mani Kaul and the video installation works by artist Rambir Singh Kaleka to Guangzhou.



Curatorial Statement:
India’s contribution to the topic ‘Back to Basics’ puts the focus on celluloid film: a technology intrinsic to the concept of the modern museum. Nothing in the 20th Century died as conclusively as celluloid did. Within a short span of a decade, the prime carrier of the moving image in the world’s largest filmmaking country went extinct. Many thought the cinema too died with the demise of celluloid.

In hindsight, the relatively smooth transition from celluloid to post-celluloid technologies escapes what we could also see as a set of major struggles to keep the celluloid memory alive. To many videomakers in today’s times, the basics of video art lie in the independent cinema movements of the 1970s, 80s and 90s.

This exhibition showcases, together, the rare 1980s and 90s cinema of India’s leading avant garde filmmaker, Mani Kaul (1942-2011) alongside the contemporary video art of Ranbir Singh Kaleka. Kaul is widely considered to have inaugurated the new Indian Cinema in 1969 with his first film, Uski Roti (His Bread). Through the 1980s and 90s he made both several fiction films and a series of non-fiction films that effectively straddle the genres of documentary, travelogue and biography. the present Triennial showcases three of Kaul’s most famous non-fiction films, Arrival (1979), Dhrupad (1982) and Mati Manas (Mind of Clay, 1984), alongside five of Kaleka’s video works, Man With Cockerel (version 1), 2002, Crossings (2005), Fables from the House of Ibaan (2007), He Was a Good Man (2008) and Sweet Unease (2010).
