The Missing One

The exhibition 'The Missing One' was specially produced by OCA as part of an institutional concern to bring to Norway the plurality of practices and histories at the forefront of international artistic debates around the world. As such, 'The Missing One' stands within a wider impetus to focus on the South Asia region and beyond, which was initiated through The Critical Writing Ensembles, a project to commission, debate and publish critical writing. Launched in Baroda, India, in 2015, and in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in 2016, the Ensembles invited art writing peers from the region and beyond (including Norway) to discuss comparative art histories and writing practices. In 2018 this focus on South Asia will be followed by a solo exhibition of the seminal artist Vivan Sundaram.
