This landmark issues marks Marg’s 70th year. The theme is abstraction and it features 11 women artists who demonstrate that abstraction continues to reside at the core of contemporary art practice. It re-affirms the political potency of abstraction within the larger project of modernism. The 11 women artists from South Asia featured here work with formalist abstraction condensed here into three propositions relevant to their practice: Architecture, Linearity, and Touch. For this special issue, the artists featured were invited to send photographs of architecture that they have taken which reveal their relationship with the cities and spaces they inhabit. Light, shadow, construction, deconstruction come together in this portfolio to provide new visions of art and abstraction.
