Kolkata 19th March 08: INOX, the multiplex chain known for its new generation movie shows, have taken one bold step to promote art and photography by introducing regular exhibitions at Forum and City Centre to garner new talent that are worth showcasing in a city where slowly signs of a cultural industry per se are emerging.  This initiative to promote the artistic skills of young aspiring painters and photographers is bolstered by careful selection and handling of a unique Black & White Art Exhibition managed by Genesis Art Gallery, one of the oldest creative nerve centers in Kolkata.  The event was inaugurated by veteran artist Suhas Roy along with other eminent personalities of the city. According to Mr Vikas Syal, Regional General Manager, INOX Forum: “We plan to imbibe in innovations like movie-related or theme-based shows for e.g. the Black & White Art and Photography exhibition that we had organized recently to mark the release of the latest Subhash Ghai film Black & White. The response of the exhibition was overwhelming and we have been flooded with entries. We hope that this confluence can initiate a fresh vision of art and cinema”.

 

As Esha Mody, Genesis Art Gallery says “taking art into multiplexes and leisure centers is another dimension that will add to its formal appreciation and market appraisal. This effort will be seen as a significant platform for a lot of new talents that Bengal basks in”.
