The festival was conceived at a meeting between Indira Gandhi and Ronald Reagan to strengthen relations between the two countries at a time of late Cold War tensions and global economic change, when Americas image of India was as a place of desperate poverty and spectacular fantasy. "Displaying Time" unpacks the intimate, small-scale durations of time at work in the gallery from the transformation of clay into ceramic to the one-on-one, personal encounters between museum visitors and artists. Using extensive archival research and interviews with artists, curators, diplomats, and visitors, Rebecca Brown analyzes a selection of museum shows that were part of the Festival of India to unfurl new exhibitionary modes: the time of transformation, of interruption, of potential and the future, as well as the contemporary and the now. 611 20 $a Festival of India in the United States $d (1985-1986) 611 27 $a Festival of India in the United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01406530 650 0 $a Time and art. 650 0 $a Art $x Exhibition techniques. 650 7 $a Art $x Exhibition techniques. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815237 650 7 $a Time and art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739528 830 0 $a Global South Asia. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211020010.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=69EF89C4F1E611E78A18091E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
