	Asia Society - Arts & Culture

	Art:21 . Shahzia Sikander . Biography . Documentary Film \| PBS
		Shahzia Sikander was born in 1969 in Lahore, Pakistan.
		Sikander specializes in Indian and Persian miniature painting, a traditional style that is both highly stylized and disciplined.
		Sikander has written: “Such juxtaposing and mixing of Hindu and Muslim iconography is a parallel to the entanglement of histories of India and Pakistan.” Expanding the miniature to the wall, Sikander also creates murals and installations, using tissue paperlike materials that allow for a more free-flowing style.

	Past Exhibitions \| 1998 \| Shahzia Sikander: Drawings and Miniatures
		Sikander's visual language comprises Indian miniature paintings and Muslim and Hindu imagery which she has co-opted to express the multiple public and private selves of the immigrant and the hybridity of her experience.
		Sikander's paintings and miniatures, as a fusion of Muslim and Hindu imagery and her own contemporary inquiries and artistic methodologies, convey the struggle to dismantle facile assumptions and stereotypes about private and public identities.
		Sikander was specifically thinking of a story of a crocodile and a monkey in which both tried to coerce the other to their territory, suggesting her own desire to exchange cultural icons.

		Sikander is primarily an artist, who works with old techniques that she learned in Pakistan [1] seven years before she acquired a more conceptual education at RISD [2] in Providence, Rhode Island.
		Sikander was early opposed to this debate has she chose to learn the craft of miniature painting instead of western painting style.
		Sikander personally finds this understanding of her paintings very simplistic as they only justified by the fact that she is a Muslim woman painting in America: I believe this debate is inherently at fault.

		Ten years ago, someone like Sikander might have been marginalized as impenetrably foreign, but today she is able to pursue a major career in the mainstream.
		There, classmates chided her for making pretty pictures—"girly art"—not realizing that Sikander’s choice to engage in the miniaturist tradition was her own form of rebellion against the banal, academic, modern painting classes back in Lahore.
		Sikander, who shows with Deitch Projects in New York, where her paintings now sell for $6,500 to $13,000, is one of the many women artists from countries far from major art centers who have received serious international attention in the past five years.

	BOMB Magazine: Shahzia Sikander by David Hunt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Sikander doesn't need a tight-lipped, bespectacled chaperone watching over her at the dance; her veiled princesses in formfitting patterned leotards display more pelvic articulation than Alvin Ailey's principal dancers.
		The kids are alright, she seems to be saying, despite Rushdie's fatwa and the Taliban's policy of zero-tolerance for the display of female skin.
		Sikander's pleasures, in other words–be it the calligraphic strokes of the Mughal tradition framing her painting, or a whirling concentric mandala superimposed on a stop-motion silhouette–don't come at a price.

	[No title]
		Shahzia Sikander: No. I'm interested in the very fine play with tradition, but the intention was not to subvert or to reinvent, but definitely to take it on, to learn the language before you can talk.
		It starts there, but just taking on miniature painting required a larger understanding of what it meant as a gesture to take on something that was very traditional, and was going to create a lot of issues, especially in juggling it as a contemporary medium.
		Shahzia Sikander: For me, it is never sacrilegious to pursue art or be creative, so I've never really had any feedback directed at that as such.

	RFID Journal - Microsoft Spells Out RFID Strategy
		Sikander has been helping to lead Microsoft's RFID efforts for about a year.
		Microsoft's strategy in the software market for midsize companies is to RFID-enable all of the business applications it acquired when it purchased enterprise software companies Great Plains (acquired in April 2001) and Navision (acquired in May 2002), the original developer of the Axapta software that Microsoft is using for the KiMs pilot.
		Most midsize enterprises will add RFID capabilities only after the major players do so, according to Sikander, but he says Microsoft's philosophy is to take technology that previously only tier-one and tier-two companies could afford and bring it to tier-three and tier-four companies.

		Homi Bhabha: I was reminded while walking through your show of David Sylvester’s interview with Francis Bacon where Bacon said that he never wanted to invent a new technique, that people who wanted to invent new techniques in fact were limiting their scopes.
		Shahzia Sikander: I think that the boundaries are blurred, and that that blurring comes out of the act of making art in particular circumstances of time and place.
