EXPOSED
Voyeurism, Surveillance, and the Camera Since 1870
Investigating the shifting boundaries between seeing and spying, the private act and the public image, Exposed challenges us to consider how the camera has transformed the very nature of looking. Bringing together historical and contemporary photographs, films, and video works by both unknown photographers and internationally renowned artists, this provocative exhibition examines some of the camera’s most unsettling uses, including pornography, surveillance, stalking celebrity, and witnessing violence. Exposed poses compelling and urgent questions about who is looking at whom, and why.

VOLTE GALLERY
RANBIR KALEKA
Sweet Unease
During the last 12 years, Kaleka has orchestrated a number of arrangements of the painted image and the projected image, arranged so as to cohabit in the same space. Ranbir Kaleka celebrates the poetics of the liminal moment: that threshold of potentialities at which, as Victor Turner has pointed out, the self becomes transitive, poised to metamorphose into any of several others.
Through February 15, 2011
2/19, 1st floor, Kamal Mansion, Arthur Bunder Road, Colaba, Mumbai-5

ISAAC JULIEN/Creative Caribbean Network
In subtle yet complex narratives, Julien’s body of work is a meditation on the cultural impact of global migration. His installations are presented on an epic scale; poetic and art-historical references are interwoven into frank portrayals of human drama.
Through March 6, 2011

GERARD BYRNE
Case Study: Loch Ness (Some possibilities and problems), 2001-2011
The culmination of Gerard Byrne’s ten years of research around the Loch Ness Monster. Including photography, film, text, sound and archival material, this project blurs the lines between fiction and documentary, exploring how images inform our understanding of myth and reality. Byrne presents his own evidence of the monster’s existence, posing the question: is it possible to capture an image of something that does not exist?
