Everyone knows that India is the heart of Asian culture. Its religions form the special cultural environment and also provide the unique art contents. Although India art is always a typical example for Asian art, it also contains many western elements because of the interaction with western countries in the past centuries. In other words, India art could represent a combination of the East and the West in an implicit way. At St. Lawrence University where western culture is dominant, school is trying to improve the global communication by recruiting more international students. In order to create the involvements of different culture at St. Lawrence University, I propose to curate an art exhibition of Indian art with the topic of pluralism and the interaction with the west in India.
The whole exhibition will have three sections. I plan to arrange the sections by the chronological order, which shows people how western culture influent the style of Indian art through time. The first section will be the religions art derived from the origin of Indian culture, such as divine image in the temple and Jain paintings. This section will occupy the lobby area because lobby area is a place where audiences will first visit, and it can let audiences have a first impression of traditional Indian art. For the two exhibition rooms, I will use the large exhibition room to exhibit the Christian art in medieval India and the works of art that depict the British colonial period and partition.
