    When we begin to see the element of 'life' in objects of history, the narrative of the social discourse precedes the material obsession. Shifting the focus from a conventional reading of art in a museum space, this lecture will explore the often-overlooked and dismissed portrayal of the concept and depiction of 'labour' in the classical Indian art.
    The visual presentation will include a curated tableau of the portrayal of the artists & craftsmen, musicians & dancers, garland & fly whisk bearers, farmers & gardeners and many others that have found their presence in art, however, their representation in discourse remains negligible. Interestingly, many of these professions, scenes and scenarios are also seen composed in the Haripura posters of 1930s, painted by Nandalal Bose, depicting - musicians, carpenters, smiths etc. Emphasising on the 'presence of people' as depicted in the Indian Art, the lecture will engage with a select range of visuals dating from c. 2500 BCE to 19th Century, present in the National Museum, New Delhi collection. The lecture will also include the contribution of the commoners in discovering and safeguarding the heritage and history of our county. The presentation will conclude with highlighting the emergence of the profound philosophical leanings that have emanated from the life, toil, skill, knowledge and wisdom of the labouring bodies that have flagged the alternate devotion/liberation practices, steering social emancipation movement in India. Thus, the talk shall be a humble attempt to pay the long pending, 'due gratitude'!

    L. N. Tallur (b.1971) received a BFA in Painting from Chamarajendra Academy of Visual Arts (1996), a MFA in Museology from Maharaja Sayajirao University (1998), and a MA in Contemporary Fine Art Practice from Leeds Metropolitan University (2002).

    Tallur uses sculpture, wall pieces, interactive work, and site-specific installations to expose the absurdities of everyday life and the anxieties that characterize contemporary society. His work incorporates handmade craftsmanship, found objects, organic and industrial material; symbols of developing India, oftentimes creating a correlation between traditional and contemporary customs. The New York Times eloquently described the artist�s work: �each of his pieces is like a miniature curiosity cabinet, hand-assembled down to the smallest detail and packed with charmed and puzzling surprises.�

    Tallur�s impressive sculptures and installations have been exhibited internationally, including at solo exhibitions in Germany, South Korea, India, China, and the United States. He recently had a major survey exhibition at the Grounds for Sculpture in New Jersey, United States, in 2020 entitled Interference Fringe. Selected group exhibitions include The Idea of the Acrobat, Bikaner House, New Delhi (2020); The Sculpture Park at Madhavendra Palace (2018, 2017); India and the World: History in Nine Stories, CSMVS Museum, Mumbai and National Museum, New Delhi (2017); Constructs/Constructions, Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, New Delhi (2015), After Midnight: Indian Modernism to Contemporary India 1947/1997, Queens Museum, New York (2015); The 7th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT7), Queensland Art Gallery, Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia (2012); Critical Mass: Contemporary Art from India, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Israel (2011); Meditation: Asian Art Biennial, National Taiwan Museum, Taiwan (2011); The Empire Strikes Back: Indian Art Today, Saatchi Gallery, UK (2010) and La Route de la Soir, Tri Postal, France (2010).
