Against All Odds is a survey exhibition of Indian contemporary art that examines the process of archiving, collecting and museums within an Indian context. The relationship between the artist and the museum has always been a special one. Artists have been invited to critique, imagine, construct their own museums, articulate the history of collecting, or draw on their own collections, to reflect on issues of identity, history, memory from both a personal and social standpoint. The exhibition also investigates the archive as structure of Information /knowledge within both, a historical and non- chronological framework that opposes the hierarchical and linearity of history, facilitating the production of new knowledge. Against All Odds could be viewed as a repository of critical responses, questions and dialogues that highlight the dynamic between the artist and his/her relationship with the museums and the production and collection of knowledge.
