KHOJ Modinagar, Delhi 1998

The second Khoj workshop in 1998 was, as the one before, dynamic, liberating and new. In an attempt to widen the artists' network that we had set out to establish we looked further afield and invited artists from Japan, Singapore and Israel...................

The workshop was conducted at Modinagar. There was Sikribagh, the venue foe the KHOJ an old bungalow built in in a quasi-colonial fuedal style. Amidst acres of land, mango trees and a pond - an idyll in the midst of the now decaying industrial city, the artists found a refuge in some ways for concentrated work that is neverthless close to the feverish reality of a small town and its changing fortunes. Generously offered to KHOJ for the workshop by SK Modi, Sikribagh was to create encounters of many kinds.
