Photographers studios, processes and formats/Shilpi Goswami, Deepak Bharathan and Jeenifer Chowdhry. Alkazi Foundation for the arts. The extraordinary range of photography from South Asia dates to the official birth of the medium in the mid 19th century. One of the first exhibitions of its kind in North America, Allegory and Illusion offers an intimate survey of vintage images from the modern nations of India, Sri Lanka, Burma, and Nepal. Together, they established a unique regional history of photography through both foreign and local practitioners. For this seminal collaboration between the Rubin Museum of Art (new York) and the Alkazi Foundation for the Arts (New Delhi) the photographs have been drawn exclusively from the private collection of Mr. E. Alkazi a figure of international repute associated with theatre direction in India and as a collector of fine art. As part of his historic photography archive, these images have been curated to explore the linked fields of portraiture figuration and inter-visual communication. The three lead essays, together with photographer biographies and techniques present varied perspectives on photography's development of a unique vernacular culture, Ethnography, identity, integration and assimilation are therefore some of the key notions that underlie practices of portraiture and domesticating space--reordering how an image may be perceived in our digital present. Some of the leading photographers and studios presented are Felice Beato, Bourne and Shepherd, Johnston and Hoffmann, Gobind Ram and Oodey Ram, Darogah Abbas Ali, Raja Deen Dayal and Shapur Bhedwar. The conditions under which some of their images were shot express the diverse relationship between political events and photographic practice. However the curators resist a teleological narrative taking into account not only the role of the medium and the state of technology but significantly, photography's non-linear systems of exchange, circulation and collection.
