Come September, and eight galleries from various Indian cities will be travelling to the Middle Kingdom.
Their desintation, the ShContemporary 2008, or the Asia Pacific Contemporary Art Fair as it's formally called, held in Shanghai from September 10-13. This is only the second year of the fair, which was instituted as something of a meeting ground for the best of contemporary art from the East and the West.
Quite successfully, since as many as 130 galleries from 23 countries participated last year, along with dealers, curators, museum representatives, artists and visitors numbering around 25,000. The Indian presence was not inconsequential (considering that Indian galleries are relatively recent to the art-fair scene).
