Guwahati: An art exhibition titled "Landscaping Subjectivity", featuring works by young artists, opened to the public at the Gauhati Artists' Guild (GAG) gallery in Chandmari on Sunday.

Organised as part of the Guild's golden jubilee celebrations, the exhibition has been curated in collaboration with the Government College of Art and Crafts (GCAC), Assam. Curated by Samudra Kajal Saikia and co-curated by Anupam Saikia, the show will run till March 29 at Gallery GAG.

The exhibition brings together recent works by around 44 students of GCAC, presented across four thematic categories - The Landscapists, Landscaping Interior Monologue, Seeing and Looking, and Cultural Landscapes.

Moving beyond conventional representations, the exhibition attempts to broaden the idea of landscape in contemporary art practice. The curatorial framework engages with questions of development, the relationship between humans and nature, and the subjective dimensions of viewing and interpreting art.

Traditionally understood in Indian languages as nisarga, or nature devoid of human intervention, the concept of landscape is re-examined here in the context of modern artistic thought, where it is increasingly seen as shaped by human presence and perception.
