COLAB is an independent centre for art and architecture based in Bangalore, South India. Its aim is to establish a platform to promote contemporary culture both visual & spatial and position these within a wider social framework. Operating from its new premises at the centre of the city, COLAB will organize and commission a range of activities including exhibitions, seminars, residencies, publications and education programmes designed to profile contemporary Indian work and show this within the context of international practice. COLAB will partner with a network of artists and architects, institutions and government organizations from India and beyond in order to foster experimentation, dialogue and share viewpoints of interest to the Indian and international arts community. A key aspect of COLAB's work will be to generate a wider engagement with contemporary practice through audience development, including outreach programmes and bilingual printer material.

For more information about COLAB and details of the upcoming programme for 2005, please contact Suman Gopinath or Edgar Demello at arched@vsnl.com or telephone +91 80 511 48932.
