India-Based Artist Astha Butail Chosen For Next BMW Art Journey
Astha Butail, an Indian artist has been chosen by BMW and Art Basel as the next BMW Art Journey winner.
Art Basel and BMW are happy to present Astha Butail as the next BMW Art Journey winner. The international jury selected her unanimously from a shortlist of three artists whose works were exhibited in the Discoveries sector in Hong Kong.
Her winning project titled "In the Absence of Writing", is concerned with memory and living traditions that are passed down through teaching and oral poetry.
For the BMW Art Journey, Butail plans to investigate the Zoroastrian Avesta, Jewish Oral Torah, and Indian Veda traditions by observing and recording their different memory techniques and interviewing scholars and practitioners of each tradition. The journey will lead through the cities of Yazd (Iran), Jerusalem (Israel), London (United Kingdom), Varanasi, Pune, New Delhi and Mumbai (India).
Art Basel and BMW will collaborate with the artist to document the journey and share it with the world through print publications, online and social media.
In addition to Ashta Butail, the shortlisted artists from the Discoveries sector for emerging artists at the 2017 Art Basel show in Hong Kong were Julian Charrière represented by Dittrich & Schlechtriem, Berlin and Lin Ke represented by BANK, Shanghai.
The BMW Art Journey is a collaboration between Art Basel and BMW, created to recognise and support emerging artists worldwide. The award is open to artists who are exhibiting in the Discoveries and Positions sectors in the Hong Kong and Miami Beach shows of Art Basel, respectively.
