ABSTRACT

Delhi-based yet peripatetic artists group Raqs Media Collective have ruminated on the museum, travel and astrology in much of their recent practice. They are known for their poetic, if often cryptic poetry and installations, making them possibly the most cerebral and mystical artist group working in India in the present day: Singing an elegy to the fluttering heart bird. A chaos of awakened wonders. A lapsed constellation still shines. The surface of each day is a different planet. A fizz of aroused expectations. A mosaic of minute hopes. Raqs Media Collective (2011)
