The award is for a 6 month period and the recipient of the fellowship will receive a reward amount of Rs. 50,000/-. Applications are available on the website www.ficart.org from 1 Dec 2007.

Paintings by Kim Kyoungae from December 6 -15, 2007 at Hacienda Gallery
Hacienda Gallery and curator Jasmine Shah Varma present recent works on canvas by Kim Kyoungae from December 6 to 15, 2007.
Kim Kyoungae’s latest collection is titled ‘Moderato’. This is a term used to describe music that is not too fast and not too slow. Kyoungae is inspired by this word which means moderate. She says in life one is tries to perform a balancing act and practice moderation in all things one does and decisions one takes.
Curator Jasmine Shah Varma says about her work: “How does one imbue the idea of moderation in the medium of painting? Two worlds seamlessly come together in Kyoungae’s works. One is the world that surrounds us and the other is within thoughts and memory. She metaphorically expresses the middle path between what one has and what one aspires to have, between this path and that path. Her works are not literal but experiential.”
