TitleCan Our Artists Create Another Ajanta Ellora - KESHAV MALIK, 82, needs no introduction to connoisseurs and lovers of arts. Ever since he put in his papers as a personal assistant to Independent India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in 1948, he has employed his encyclopedic knowledge of arts and literature to discuss and debate growing contours of contemporary Indian arts. Malik shot to international fame with his first curatorial exhibition of contemporary Indian art, The Human Condition9 in 1973-74 that traveled to Bulgaria, Poland, Belgium and erstwhile Yugoslavia. Besides, he made his mark as an acclaimed poet and has so far published ten volumes of poetry, including The Lake Surface, Storm Warning and Between Nobodies and Stars. In recognition of his literary and artistic accomplishments, he was awarded Padam Shree in 1991. He also founded Poetry Society of India and is currently its president Hardly any exhibition concludes without his presence; be it in any part of the country. He spoke to Sahara Time on the changing face of modern Indian arts, especially the growing culture of experimenting with technology-aided art works like digital installation, video arts, graphic and metal works
