the inlaks-asia art archive art grant

The Grant encourages artists to propose methods of art-making that incorporate research, collaboration, workshops, and formal experiments to explore the imaginations, architectures, sensoria, and interfaces of the archive.

We seek proposals that demonstrate a critical and imaginative approach toward the archive as concept, system, and medium. This grant asks artists to consider: What shall we do with the archive?

Asia Art Archive is an Independent Registered Public Charitable Trust established in 2013 with the goal of building resources for research on the region’s dynamic contemporary art scene.

It accomplishes this mission by digitising artist and scholarly archives, developing research projects, and organising programmes. AAA-I’s Research Collections can be accessed from its space in New Delhi, which has been open to the public since 2016.
