Vivan Sundaram has embraced multifarious roles in his prolific career an artist. This section is dedicated solely to Sundaram's artwork, including more than 1,000 digitised images of his artworks, exhibition views, and photographs documenting installation processes.
Sundaram's career is documented in elaborate detail, including his paintings from the 1960s through the turbulent times of the Emergency in the 1970s, and his resolution to stop painting in 1990 and turn to sculpture, installation, photography, and video. Extensive documentation in the form of correspondence, exhibition proposal, and budget and layout plans of the now iconic site-specific work, Structures of Memory, shown in Victoria Memorial Hall in 1998, is also included in the section. A number of artist statements, concept notes, and essays by Sundaram have also been digitally preserved. Finally, Sundaram's section includes complete digital scans of the artist's five scrap books, which contain over 600 articles, reviews, newspaper clippings, and interviews in which Sundaram is featured.
